My baby brother and his beautiful wife now have their own baby, a handsome little boy whom they named Karim, after our Dad (whose 69th Birthday was yesterday).
Below is a little poem I wrote and have dedicated to the newest member of our extended family, baby Karim.
Karim
The world is your oyster
You are so young, so new,
You will have much to offer it,
And the world, you.
I see you traversing
Its extraordinary lands,
Countries and cities,
Farms and fields.
I see you climbing
Its dizzying heights,
Mountains and valleys
Plateaus and alps.
I see you sailing
Its vast, great seas
Rivers and oceans,
Antarctic to the Nile.
But most of all,
May you grow to be,
Like your namesake,
So generous, so skillful
Fun-loving and kind.
So generous, so skillful
Fun-loving and kind.
