Swaddled in So Much Blue



I guess congratulations are in order,

considering your little bundle of joy

has just arrived,


but even the things I mean honestly

without the spit or spite come out

far too wrong.


And I suppose I should be happy for you

especially since I was the first to move on

but we're young,


the two of you always seemed so smart,

and no one ever pegged you for such a

doomed little family.


Perhaps I should stick to the facts

and keep my big mouth shut like

you always said,


but this just feels so far from reality

that I don't know what to do other than

to congratulate you.


So congratulations on your brilliant

little baby girl, I hope she has your eyes

and her smile...
