Happy Birthday to Son Joseph
By Arley Steinhour 100315

Forty Eight years ago, on this day,
I took your mom for a hospital stay,
The nurse at desk said, 'go away,
Read a mag, but stay out of the way.

We told her, Call, and get the Doc, quickly,
She pushes me aside, as if I was sickly,
Mumbles and Grumbles, came from my lip,
You were the fourth, of 'Delivery Trip.

The Doctor, came screeching up to the curb,
The look on his face, was far from superb,
He ran up the stairs, making a clatter,
I knew, right then, there was something the matter.

Ten minutes later, nurse came back to the station,
I commented, 'The Doc missed the gestation?'
She mumbled apology, for her demeaning shun,
The good news, was, number four, also a Son.

So, with my heart, I call out, Happy Birthday,
Praying the best for you, in your 'Life Way,'
Develop your memories, they all be yours,
For Eternity, once we reach God's Heavenly Shores.

AMEN
