A new life begun,
like father, like son.

Like one, like the other,
Like daughter, like mother.

A generation of children on the children of your children.

A lovely being scarcely formed or molded,
A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.

Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.

Father of fathers, make me one,
A fit example for a son.

Grandchildren are gifts of God.
It is God's way. . .
Of compensating us for growing old.

May he/she grow twice as tall as yourself and half as wise.

"The stork has brought a little peach!"
The nurse said with an air.
"I'm mighty glad," the father said.
"He didn't bring a pear."
