    Poem Commentary

    To my son and daughter-in-law on the birth yesterday of their daughter. After loosing their son last year, this child is a true blessing to mend their hurting souls. I couldn't be there due to illness so my son called so that I could hear her first cries.

    A Warm Welcome for Aimee

     I cried along with you when I heard on the phone
    Your first cries as you made yourself known
    With little fists flying and a voice to be heard
    You let everyone know, you would not be deferred.

    With angelic eyes and a cute little nose
    You were pink and rosy, right down to your toes
    Everyone cooing, laughing and yes a tear too
    For the new life and blessing on your day of debut.

    With a head full of hair the color of fawn
    Born in the morning just before dawn
    You visited awhile and then went out like a light
    An angel needs rest to shine that bright.

    So welcome Aimee Michelle, we’ve waited so long
    To have you with us; to hear your life song
    Never doubt for a moment how much you are loved
    You are our blessing that God sent from above.

    As talented as you are - write her a ballad. In fact what a gift it would be if you gave her a poem about her life each year on her birthday. It would be a journal of your love for her. Congratulations.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
