I need some inspiration for a nice quote for my upcoming birth announcement of a baby girl (please oh please).

What did you have on yours?

"First when there's nothing
but a slow glowing dream
that your fear seems to hide
deep inside your mind.
All alone I have cried
silent tears full of pride
in a world made of steel,
made of stone.
Well, I hear the music,
close my eyes, feel the rhythm,
wrap around, take a hold
of my heart.
What a feeling.
Bein's believin'.
I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life."

Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love

I avoid the phone, I prefer the paper announcement approach.

What about "We are family, I got all my sisters with me"

'A Lady Baby came to-day --' What words are quite so nice to say? They make one smile, they make one pray for Lady Baby's happiness. 'Today a Lady Baby came.' We have not heard her winsome name, we can address her all the same, as Lady Baby-Come-to-Bless.

When Lady Baby came to earth, her home was filled with joy and mirth. There's not a jewel of half the worth of Lady Baby-to-Caress. We're glad that Lady Baby's here, for at this sunless time of year, there's nought that brings such warmth and cheer as Lady Baby's daintiness.

Hush! Lady Baby's fast asleep, the friendly fire-flames dance and leap and angel's wings above her sweep as on her eyes a kiss they press. 'A Lady Baby!' Lovely phrase, it means she'll have such gentle ways, and grow to goodness all her days -- may God this Lady Baby bless!

codsicle · 10/09/2005 15:38

think we said somthing about a prtner in crime on an email

codsicle · 10/09/2005 15:38

ooh nooooooo pph

princesspeahead · 10/09/2005 15:39

but the best is the sister in law's reworking of the poem...

Hush! Lady Baby's fast asleep, the friendly fire-flames dance and leap and burning her to ash they sweep across the Lady Baby's dress.
'A Lady Baby burned today' Her dainty soul has flown away God's called her back to frisk and play -- and that's one Lady Baby less.

Ha ha ha ha
I think THAT is funny too. There clearly is no hope for me

Do remember a lovely little quote at a craft market on a picture

"The first time his laughter unfurled its wings we knew the world would never be the same."

snafsicle · 10/09/2005 15:40

Be a bugger if you have to pay per word though...

Soupsicle · 10/09/2005 15:41

The reworking is not exactly appropriate for a birth announcement though is it, PPH??
