  poems for a new tomorrow

little baby

 little baby we’ve waited so, so long

but please don’t come tonight

for a crowd has started to gather

and this needs to happen without a fight

but who am I to say?

and what am I to guess?

for shouldn’t I already know

does her family really love her best?

and where does that leave me?

well I can always come

but if I can’t accept the extra company

I get treated like some bum

little baby don’t you fret

about your daddy being there

for you have so much to offer

and her family, I won’t fear

so when your time comes

and you finally join our ranks

I can hopefully assure you

it will happen without their pranks

for what some perceive as good

could actually not be so

while others keep on loitering

just to be part of your show

that is in fact until

your daddy gets his way

and those others finally go bye-bye

so mommy and daddy can share your first birthday
