CONGRATULATIONS BABY

July 22, 2013: this date has a happy ring

It’s the day the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her future king.

The world rejoices for England, for William and his wife

And we too send our wishes for a long and happy life.

The happiness the world is feeling…no one can or should take away

But there were 370,000 other babies born on that same day.

370,000 other families celebrating their sons or daughters birth

370,000 other princesses or princes on this Earth.

It is wonderful to see the world rejoice and celebrate

Together with England, and, of course with William and with Kate.

But how great a place would be this planet, this home base we call Earth

If every child was celebrated with so much revelry and mirth?

Certainly rejoice England! Enjoy your countrywide soiree

But let us also celebrate the 369,999 other babies born that day

Yes every day we should be celebrating, we should party we should sing

As we celebrate with all those families-their future queens and kings.
