Blessings on thee

Church was good yesterday. The wife made it back on her new "scooter" after a two week absence (recovering from her foot surgery) and for the first time a new mother in the Parish had her 3 mos. old son there with her. That made it doubly special. The little guy was born 3 months early. His due date would be right now. Both she and he looked fine. For a while we weren't sure how things would turn out.

She was beaming and rightfully so. And, what better a place for him to be on that Sunday Morning. Happy Due Day!

So I say to him:

"Blessings on thee little man, barefoot boy with cheeks of tan."
