Mother screams into the dawn
Child is born not yet a pawn
Bring on the world one by one
All are born under the sun
First a kiss and then a hug
Sweeping none under the rug
Name is given to the new
Gift of life and then a pew
School begins, a mother hurts
Baby’s growing in huge spurts
Cat and dog and color book
Life takes on a whole new look
Girls and boys and books and toys
Cotton, poly, corduroys
Proms and dances out the door
Standing on their own hard floor
Marriage, kids, a new appeal
Fleeting moments what a deal
Parent’s hope they do enjoy
Their new life with girl and boy.
