Although your age in months
Is but a meagre minus three
I’m writing this to let you know
You mean the world to me
Just thinking of the joy you’ll bring
In all the years to come
Replaces all my winter moans
With glorious summer sun
I want to introduce myself
I’m your Uncle G
And tell you that you’ll always have
A friend right here in me
I cannot give you Frankincense
And Myrrh is far too rare
And as for gold I doubt I’ll have
A single copper spare
But head and heart and life and soul
I’ll pledge to you with joy
‘cause even though you’re not yet born
You’re my favourite girl/boy
