Josh.

It’s a boy you say,
For you and I,
The joy welled up,
I had to cry,
That summer night,
That he was born,
He would not come,
He was safe and warm,
We thought and searched,
To pick a name,
We waited to choose,
Until he came,
I saw him sleeping,
Thought, oh my gosh,
And from out of nowhere,
I said, “Hello Josh”

Yo WTBAKELAR,

Congratulations on the kid. That’s always a big event. My oldest of four is 48 years old, and the youngest will be 38 in a few months.

It's nice to see you finally writing something that actually makes sense. Good going.

Nice name BTW.

Bobby

What a cute poem WTB, you wrote it well.

I have a grandson named Josh and I think it is a lovely name. Well done.

I like the anticipation in this one. You had me sharing it with you.
