She Turns Forty Today
By Larry Linville
Forty years ago today
my wife woke me up to say
it was time to deliver
our baby, which made me shiver
I drove to the emergency
where the doctor said he would be.
I parked the car and went upstairs
to those with tender loving cares.
I sat calmly to wait my turn
And then the things began to churn.
Nurses rushed all over the place
as I sat with my puzzled face.
Soon there appeared a friendly nurse
with a line she had to rehearse.
“I know things have been a big whirl,
but now you have a baby girl.”
So now she turned forty today
it seems like only yesterday
that this girl came to live with us
after causing such a big fuss.
