Well, Here I am jabbering on again....but I can't quite help it...I mentioned in another thread regarding all of the mortality threads going around....friends dying....and such...well, I'd like to brag about a friend being born.

The best friend I have ever had called me on the phone a few weeks ago to tell me his wife had a baby girl....well, today in the mail, I received a birth announcement for her....Little Brittany was born on February 1st in Seattle at 8 pounds and 8 ounces....and I am bloody pleased as punch.....

Thanks, everyone! Now the dad is wanting to look for a job shoreside. He feels that now that he has a family now, he can't afford to be gone for a couple of months or so at a time. You know, now, I'm just going to have to make a special trip up to Sumner, just to see his girl now....that is next time he's home...

There's nothing like a little one to cheer up a household. I was out of town for a week and my little guy Brendan looks like he grew a whole pound { born Dec 13th }. Hell - I don't ever care that he smells funny. Congrats to your friends.

As the Irish side of my family would say: "God never closes a door without opening a window. Welcome Brittany! Enjoy Amergin.

My dearest Amergin,

Thanks for sharing the news of Brittany's birth! Now, we'll be seeing one of your wonderful songs about her any day now, won't we?? There's nothing like a new life to open up the senses and bring us to full consciousness, eh?

And Wesley, I agree with MMario, thanks for the Brendan report! Breathe deep the gathering nappy odor, for the changing table bell tolls for thee... Hugs and snogs to you, Mommy and baby.

Hey, *Uncle* Nathan, that is great news! Thanks for telling us, darlin'...and do write a song for her...(good idea, Aine!)

(And, I thought this thread was about someone leading a nonmusic life and having it bloom into music, again!**BG**)

luvya and Congrats...kat

From: Amergin

Okay....

Brittany's Lullaby
(tune: Sky Boat Song)

Chorus:
Sleep bonnie babe, like the flowers at rest,
As you lie in your mother's arms
Rock back and forth on the ocean's breast
Your smile reveals your charms

Chorus:

Your daddy's gone away, gone over the sea
Gone one week or ten;
But he will return, return just to see
His sweet little babe again.

Chorus:

The moon shines bright, dancing at night
As you lie in your bed
Shadows on the wall in constant flight
Watched by your weary head

Chorus:

Sleep little babe close your wee eyes
And sleep upon the shore
No longer, sweet babe, will you loudly cry
Daddy will sail no more

Chorus:

As the years pass by your beauty unfolds
Watched by loving men
The day will come, soon I am told,
A woman will bloom again.

Chorus:

Nathan

Congratulations! (again) - take a look here for some thoughts that came out of my various "unclehood" experiences.
