To My Brother
For each life gone another’s born
It’s the natural way on earth
I send my love to your new son
And celebrate his birth
My love to you flows openly
From a mother who has known
The joy of bringing to this world
Two daughters and a son
As parents we become aware
Of that unconditional love
And babies are our greatest gift
Sent from some place above
It’s for us to guide and care for them
Our biggest challenge in life
These precious little Jewels
Will one day cause us strife
You will make mistakes as parents do
The books don’t tell you all
But foundations which are built on love
Are the strongest ones of all
Cherish your new arrival
Kev so pleased your life’s complete
Love to Siobhan and little Niamh
And poor Luke so like you but so sweet!
All our love…Carole Liam and Hayley
