My niece gave birth,
momentous time
our Kurt is born
his smile sublime

The ignorant cried
for Down’s his lot
forgetting though
the love he’s got

Either side a bed
a perfect child
they smile too
all meek and mild

So of these three
which child is struck
with the good fortune
of our Lady Luck

A year flies by
joy always there
at least that’s true
for only a pair

Kurt and girl right
a pleasant scene
still all smiles
loved and clean

Baby boy only tears
where no one can see
dirty and alone
sodden with wee

So of these three
which child is struck
with the good fortune
of our Lady Luck

Let’s look again
with a decade passed
how do they fair
what now the contrast

With Kurt no change
smile beaming wide
love still surrounds
there on every side

For boy child a house
but he has no home
is this freedom
for a him to roam?

Our girl faired worse
life full of dread
a ten year old kid
sharing an adult’s bed

So of these three
which child is struck
with the good fortune
of our Lady Luck
