I wrote this poem for our revealing of Baby #2's gender... enjoy!
Thank you all for coming to the party tonightSeeing all of your friendly faces really is quite the sightBefore we tell you the gender of baby number two
Here's a little story – told just for youMany moons ago in two thousand and nine
The results of that test warmed Ginny's heart and mineAs you all know, fine, fair ladies and gents
The big news was that we would become parentsAnd in the middle of summer, in the heat of July
We heard our sweet Nyla cry her first cry
Indeed with sweet Nyla we have surely been blessed
Even though at times, we have gotten little restNow here we are, gathered together again
We'd hoped this would happen but didn't know whenThis next line will make you spit your drink in your cup
Because, yep, you guessed it, I knocked Ginny upNyla's going to be a big sister this we know
"Well, duh," you're all thinking, "Get on with the show!"Boy? Or girl? You're just dying to find out!
This poem is going on too long without a doubt!It's great to be surrounded by such great family and friends
As you can tell I'm stalling for time – the poem never endsLet me pause for a moment and thank God above
For our parents who showed us all about loveOk, enough is enough! Let's get to why you're here
I see the crowd smiling, wanting to let out a cheerThe excitement is building; you can feel it in the air
A poet of my talents is really quite rareAs I conclude I just want to say
Thanks to you all for coming todaySo now let me proudly announce our bundle of joyIs a healthy, developing, and great baby…
GIRL!
