    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this song for my son, Christopher when he was a baby.

    Song for Christopher
    The Baby

    I'm the baby of the family
    I'm an acorn in the family tree
    No I'm not the tallest
    Cuz I'm the smallest
    I'm the baby of the family

    So sweet, but awfully short. I think this could turn out to be a really cute poem if you continued it

    Thx, Alpha, but you see, this really is a song. I've written songs for all my children, when they were babies or toddlers. So, no matter how short, I could NEVER add another word to Christopher's Song, because it's for him alone. He's now 18 years old & it's too special to spoil. But thank you for your input. I smiled when I read it because I do realize this is not "something for the masses" - I just happened to share these little songs on here along with some poetry I've written. Thx for reading!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
