I'm sorry I can't be with you,
But I'm very busy you see,
Painting my eyes, my cheeks, my hair,
So mother will be proud of me.
I'm sending this little message,
To convey to you this thought,
The Stork will soon have left me,
To use the gifts you brought.
Be sure to come and see me,
As soon as I get here,
Just give mother time,
To dress me ever so dear.
And so I thank you from my heart,
For each lovely gift for me,
For when the Stork leaves me with mother,
I'll not be dressed you see.

and this one.....


I'm really glad that you could come
to help surprise my mother.
Sit down, relax, enjoy yourselves
and chat with one another.
Sorry I can't be with you
to share in Mummy’s shower
but you see I'm very busy
cause I'm growing more each hour.
Though I'm not here to thank you
for the special gift you brought
My family and I are grateful...
We appreciate the thought.
I'll be arriving shortly
I'm as happy as can be
So after I've been home awhile
Please come and visit me!
