To Jasper

I wrote this while waiting to photograph the sunrise on the
morning of the birth by C Section of one of my many Grandchildren.
This poem is printed on a photo I took that morning and hangs on his bedroom wall.
To Jasper
The gentle breeze it touched me
From the east it came my way
It heralded the sunrise
This will be a special day
The trees they hardly notice it
And grasses grace it's will
The sounds of morning fill the air
The lambs will drink their fill
I stand upon a hillside with
The breeze fresh on my face
I think about your coming birth
About the world you'll grace
The sun comes up to light the day
The crow's call sounds forlorn
The golden rays they touch my face
What a great day to be borne
Welcome.
