This poem was written for Colin and Kris Bulla for their new baby boy Ian. I hope the rest of the SBers will enjoy this poem. I love you Colin, Kris, X-man, and Ian. We are surely family now.

[c]The New Conch Diver[/c]
[c]The bright light arises from the east,[/c]
[c]All get ready for something to eat,[/c]
[c]We all think it is another day,[/c]
[c]But we all are not the one who will pay,[/c]
[c]She tells us it might happen,[/c]
[c]And we all look at her and grin,[/c]
[c]She tells us to get ready to pack everything,[/c]
[c]With every contraction she begins to sing,[/c]
[c]The song the other women already know,[/c]
[c]Load the car, the kids, and let's go,[/c]
[c]We are all running now,[/c]
[c]She must get there some how,[/c]
[c]Once we're there the symphony begins,[/c]
[c]Her songs arise that feeling in all women and men,[/c]
[c]Some sit and watch while others pace the floor,[/c]
[c]This baby is coming for sure,[/c]
[c]The father sits by her side and waits,[/c]
[c]Above their head I swear I see Saints,[/c]
[c]Another diver is joining our ranks,[/c]
[c]God! We're going to have to buy more tanks,[/c]
[c]With every whimper it grows near,[/c]
[c]Everyone's mission is now very clear,[/c]
[c]The tension is growing to beyond control,[/c]
[c]Together we all grow as one soul,[/c]
[c]As the cry of the little one fills the air we all sigh,[/c]
[c]We all look at each other as salty water fills the eye,[/c]
[c]He is here we knew this moment would survive,[/c]
[c]I can't wait until he is older so we all can dive,[/c]
[c]We all love him like the ocean does the shore,[/c]
[c]Amongst us now is another Conch Diver like non before.[/c]

I hope this poem touches you as it has done me.......
 
Cool, Man
 
Congrats Bullas on your new addition to the Dive team.
 
Beautiful Poem. Congrats and Kudos to all involved!
 
Nice job Babe! I wish we had a forum just for this kind of stuff, heck......could even develope into a book.
 
We do, but its on that other forum that is NOT in competition with SB. :D
 
Darrel, again I say thank you so much! Your poem is such a special gift for our new little addition. That's something that will go in Ian's baby book, and he'll always know it's just for him.

We love you guys, too! What a bonding experience for all involved!

Love, Kris
