Dear Morgan Kay,

Welcome to the world

That is being served

With a notice of your arrival.

"Morgan Kay"

Embodies not just the middles,

But the core attributes

Of the fabulous Beamers.

Welcome to the world

That is being reshaped

By the true heroism.

"Let’s roll!"

Is the first and foremost

Anti-terrorist call of action

Issued by your courageous Dad.

Welcome to the world

That is being healed

By the genuine faith.

"Our Father in Heaven"

Begins the Lord’s prayer

Recited by your Dad

In America’s gloomy sky.

Welcome to the world

That is refusing hatred

Fueled by the fanatics.

"Lisa Beamer"

Has carried you to term

Amid pain and forgiveness

Sustained by her charming faith.

Welcome to the world

That is entering a millennium

Endowed with the Sept. 11 legacy.

"Dave and Drew"

Will grow up with you

For the world to behold

The victorious offspring of the righteous.

(Composed on Jan. 11, 2002, two days after your coming to Earth and four months after your Dad's ascending to Heaven)
