My Baby Was 44 On July Twenty-First, Twenty-Twenty-Two!

My baby has a birthday in July and he turned age 44 years

that is bringing me to tears

how can he be that old?

It was cold

this morning and windy

are we changing the subject, Cindy Lou?

It will not make me any younger, Mindy Moo!

🥳

He was a big boy when he was born

10#, 6 oz., and I was torn

but no more babies for me after that

and there I sat

for it took 10 years to get an older brother

for him and another 15 years later there were four other

steps for a total of 7 children for me to mother

🎈

He is such a great guy

I sure can’t say boy, why

he is almost as old as I!

Happy birthday to my baby boy!

He will still be getting a toy

as a hedge trimmer was on his list

sounds like a toy to me, I get the gist.

🎉

His baby girl was a big surprise to me

I had given up on his having any you see

she is 2 years old and doing well

what do they say about twos, they are swell?

He is the very best dad ever

I would have never

doubted that but whatever.

Pat’s birthday present from him and Meg!

They got a pontoon

that comes with a tune

or two or three

Happy birthday to me

is one of them you see

I can hardly wait to visit

the benefits of being a parent, or is it?
