Something to talk about, something to do, <br />Something to laugh at the whole day through, <br />Something to look at with pride and with glee, <br />Something for friends to come in just to see; <br />Something you can't sum up all the wonderful things <br />Of joy and delight which a new baby brings. <br /> <br />There's a smile that is brighter than sunbeams of May, <br />A wave of farewell as you're starting away, <br />A glad time of frolic which no one can steal, <br />A thrill inexpressible, lovely to feel. <br />There's something to boast of and something to tell <br />When a baby has come to the place where you dwell. <br /> <br />There's never an hour that is lonely and drear; <br />The days are filled up to the top with good cheer. <br />You have someone to play with and someone to sing to, <br />Someone to romp with and someone to cling to; <br />And always you're finding some pleasure that's new <br />When God has sent down a glad baby to you.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-baby-in-the-house/
