An awesome foursome
featured are all growing fast
and by July I know there will
be five, and not the last
I’m reassured
Pictures, yes, but more
than merely memories of time
well spent, more than simple
images to represent
those early days
And they delight in every
way that liveliness enchants
infectiously, supplanting
age intrigues and
caution’s chariness
They’ll bless each day
within the year to come with
guileless charm – and we
will bathe in comforts
they proliferate
A calendar to hang upon
a wall of sunlit dreams
and cheer the gaze – there’ll
be a splendid welcoming
each waking day
