To Joseph
my third great grandson

A loving welcome to my new great grandson
I'm so sorry for this world that he will find
Where peace and love are being held to ransom
But I'm hoping that he'll reap the other kind
Where people yearn for peace and help each other
Where real compassion brings with it some hope
When brutal treatment makes us run for cover
At scenes from which our senses cannot cope
Fate will decide if I'm to watch his travels
But part of me he will carry down that road
I bequeath him all my love as he unravels
A life that only reaps what you have sowed
