Fatherhood

So, welcome Isabel, now you’re out in the world

For nine months you’ve been inside Mummy

Curled, safe and warm, like a snug bug in a rug

And now we can hold you and hug you at last

Grandad is smitten, as he was with the first

But big sister is full to bursting with emotion

There’s love and there’s jealousy all in one go

But she’ll come around when you’re both playing ball

As for me, well I adore you, as I knew all along

And bore anyone who’ll listen to a long description

One was wonderful, from where I stood as a Dad

But two is much better when fatherhood is concerned
