My Nephews

Steven Joseph


It's April twenty seventh and a little boy is born
at twelve minutes to four on a Wednesday morn.

Steven Joseph, weighing seven pound eight,
came earlier than expected, he just couldn't wait.

To Robert and Debbie and Jodi-lee -
how proud and excited, you all must be.

My first little nephew, God Bless you little man,
I can't wait to meet you and clasp your little hand.

Matthew Robert
Born: Wednesday 4th of October 1989

On the fourth of October, Matthew Robert was born,
Like his brother and sister, on a Wednesday at dawn

Having waited so patiently for this baby to arrive,
this morning he came into our world around five.

Weighing eight pound one, perfectly healthy boy
and precious little fellow for everyone to enjoy.

My second darling nephew - welcome to our clan
God bless you and your family, we love you little man.

Bradley Philip

Born: Tuesday 19th of February 1985

It's a Boy!

In an afternoon of February, nineteen eighty five
at nine minutes past four, our baby arrived

Bradley Philip King, a hefty beautiful boy,
weighed nine pound five, we cried tears of joy.

With eyes dark blue and soft brown hair,
a brother for Danielle and Lisa to share.

An unforgettable imprint on this warm summer day
when our delightful gift from heaven came our way.

Lisa Marie

Born: Tuesday 1st June 1982 @ 12.14am

Lisa Marie

Here's the news - how excited are we,
about the arrival of Lisa Marie
Quietly content, perfect and small
Blue eyes, though not much hair at all.
Another little girl to enjoy and keep
and sure to have me running off my feet
Handfuls of happiness to grow with and love
Adorable cherubs, blessings from above
knowing our guardian angel is there - 
brother Stephen, to respond to their prayer.
