Congratulations, Kerstyn! Poem by Bryan Norton

Congratulations, Kerstyn, as you celebrate this hour
When you are called to be a mom and have a baby shower
The little boy that grows within will be here very soon
And on the day that he is born your heart will skip the moon

You have a growing sense of pride that you will have a son
And now you know the boy inside is loved by everyone
A baby is a miracle who makes your life complete
Because he likes the way you laugh and what you have to eat

Perhaps you thought your life would stay the same for very long
But courage is the will to say that maybe you were wrong
The married life can rank a nine for ladies and their men
A baby is the special one who makes your life a ten

Your mother is the anxious soul who found it hard to wait
But now you know the reason why she wanted you to date
Her gratitude in your success is more than she can say
I guess you know the rest of us are happy all the way

Your husband is the joyful one to have a baby boy
For what is there about a son that daddy's can't enjoy
They get to proudly sit and watch the process that you do
But maybe changing diapers will be good for both of you

The freedom that you used to know is merely just a word
And what you get is just a glow for what you have endured
The gracefulness in how you work is merely just a ploy
To prove that you can be a mom and do what you enjoy!
