Lesley

The 17th of December
Nineteen sixty-five,
then nine months prior,
Comes a new life.

The greatest sperm
beat all the rest
To connect with the egg
And create the best.

A wife, a mom
A daughter, a sister
Loved by so many,
I couldn’t resist her.

Thirty-five years
Have come and gone
Many years have passed
But it doesn’t feel long

A partner for life
I am so glad for that sperm
Started the process
For a nine-month term.

The best part still
Is ahead, you see
I am so glad
You will spend it with me.

Love, Patrick
