A Memorable Day

What a blessing it is to have Mark
amongst us all here today.
Such a joy of a boy!
Crying when he's wet,
And smiling when he's happy.
Just as normal as one could be.
And we pray he remains that way.

Mama and Papa will soon
hear more than just cries.
For that is only expected.
Now if "dosta" is one of his first,
Let's not be too surprised.
For when you take a combination
of a Bulgarian, German and Yugoslavian,
What do you expect!

May Mark be blessed always!
Have the things to keep him happy and healthy,
His family to guide him and keep him near,
For he is loved very, very dear.
And may he grow with that same love,
Inside his dear, sweet heart.

Read and written by Yana Petkov for her #1 Nephew,
MARK PETKOV, on his Christening Day, July 25, 1982,
at Cafe Majestic, with music by the "Continentals"
