It's a Girl!

The war ends! We return to Indiana - new jobs,

new home, mortgage and bills.

Lomie did more than her share and still found time

to provide me with thrills.

But after seven years, the biggest thrill,

and I don’t mean maybe,

Was when she cried, “I killed the frog!

We’re going to have a baby!”

Each day, she became more beautiful.

I was as thrilled as I could be.

I knew it could not be fun for her;

but she seemed far happier than me.

She gave me a seven pound baby girl.

We named her Lola Kris.

I was so proud, but felt very humble;

for all I could give her was a kiss.
