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
