At a Baby Shower…with joy.

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
The smiles and gifts

And games they play

The love they come to share

The hope of miracles anon

The food that's made with care.

The waiting and the learning now

Seem right as days reflect

A couple have brave journey soon

Full joy and change expect.
