Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Namesake

You're due to be born any day.

And I, your Mom, am filled with joy.

Sadly, your Dad has passed away.

So whether you're a girl or boy,

For both of us I will give you

All my love and love from your Dad.

I have enough to give for two.

Now that he's gone I do feel sad.

But I loved him and he loved me.

Often the two of us talked of

What your name was going to be.

Your Dad's name, Robert, I do love.

Very early this morn you came.

Welcome. Roberta is your name.
