The Newest Member
Clad in just a diaper,
Nestled in his father’s lap,
A brand-new baby’s by the river,
Deep into a nap.
I think he needs a blanket
Since the bench is in the shade,
But his parents seem relaxed
With the decision they have made.
I’d guess that not a week ago,
That newborn babe was curled
In the cozy womb, yet now he’s here,
A member of the world.
