    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.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
