You were show and tell
Seven years past, you were born
and your big brother
was so very proud.
He donned his power ranger
costume, went to school
and took you along
Of course we waited until
you were big enough.
He showed all his friends
how he’s careful with your head.
Then, he washed you clean.
Thanks for the memories, big guy. And Happy 7th Birthday.
