"Children are much more blessing than bother / Friends when they are big... pets when they are small"

Transcendental Sonnet #1246:

My Sister is Having a Baby

 

for Dara

 

My sister as you carry life within

I pray that it will all go well with you

As rocky-road adventures now begin

And you feel upside-down in all you do

They say it all gets better in a while

 

They say that and then you patiently smile

Because everyone is full of advice

Full of old shoes and other things as well

You are trying your hardest to be nice

While you are going through absolute hell

 

Now I can be an uncle after all

I have been told I am a good father

Children are much more blessing than bother

Friends when they are big...  pets when they are small
