A Little Girl Was Born Today

At 12:19 a.m., my great-granddaughter came into this world

A new bundle of joy

A new baby girl, oh boy

Grandma loves her already

haven’t met her, but I’m ready

to go to the hospital just as soon

as they are ready for visitors

Maybe it will be around noon

There will be many inquisitors

They won’t be harsh or searching

just loving relatives waiting

to see the baby and her parents

and even her great-grandparents

I have a granddaughter staying today

who is her auntie, what can I say

I thought I was anxious.

There is someone else who is overanxious

~~

Brandon, my grandson, messaged me this morning, hmm

And he gave me some details, born at 12:19 a.m.

Brooke is doing well, baby is 8 pounds, 6 ounces

Yes, she is a big girl at 21 inches long! All I know I announces!

~~

Baby

Brookelyn

Brandon

Big sister Alaska
