BEN

He's here at last, our baby boy,
After all those months of waiting
He is an angel all day long
So cute and entertaining.

Nightfall comes, and very soon
I'm dreaming,then I wake up with
A jolt,
Our little boy is screaming.

His crumpled face is red with rage,
His nappy it needs changing,
and all the time I'm doing this
his future I'm arranging.

We'll send him back from
Where he came, and catch
Up with our sleeping.

When dawn arrives he's fast asleep
I know that we will keep him.

Maggie: This is a cute poem and one all parents can relate to, I'm sure. It's always hard getting through those first few months but worth it!

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Very nice, Maggie - I'm soooooo happy for you... I'm glad he's a keeper... What a lot you'd have gone through otherwise... Aren't little ones just the MOST fun???...

(smiles) Awwwwwwwwwww, this is adorable, sweet friend, I too agree that raising babies must instead have its growing pains but we only love them more and more and soon their cries feel so pure to our hearts! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maggie, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
