From Across The Room There She Lay

All covered in pink and blue, was she a she or a he is what I thought looking in her direction

Everyone was over there, looking at her.

I was told that she would be coming soon.

I just didn't know when looking her over,

that she would be as bright as the stars and moon.

I already had a younger brother

He was always loud, a lot like a loon.

A sister was the perfect next baby,

a baby that was a lot like me maybe!

From across the room, she was laying there

I wasn't sure if she was a she or he!

When I got close I could see her and where

she was my sister, and she was a she!

What a beautiful baby with lots of hair

I just knew it would be so much fun and we

would sing, dance, color and play the days away

She was covered in pink and blue, she can stay!
