HUNTER  WATKINS AT  SIX

By Papaw Beaty 1/13/09

I know a little fellow who's going to be a brother.

That's because he has an expectant pregnant mother.

He's going to be a brother not just once but twice.

Your mom's expecting twins.  Isn't that real nice?

One will be a girl and the other one a boy.

I'm sure that that will bring a household full of joy.

But don't expect attention from the little tikes.

To me they're not much fun until they can ride trikes.

I hear you're turning SIX and graduating school.

It will soon be three to two and have majority rule.

So it's pizza every night in front of the T.V.

While the girls wash the dishes and serve us fresh ice tea.

Daddy's taxes will be less with two new mouths to feed.

I think that is enough, your mom will sure agree.

So happy birthday Hunter your pudding was so good.

I recall how you would jump when on my lap you stood.

There is a special place reserved in heaven for you.

Jesus held the children to show He loved them too.

I'm looking forward to the day when we will all be there.

Then you'll run and play.  For a new life you will share.
