Congratulations

Congratulations mostly
Are for something that you've done - 
Got married or got published,
Had a daughter or a son.

Bought a home or bought a business,
Got promoted, passed the bar,
Won a big award, got hired,
Traded in or bought a car.

Yet since I've become a nana
(Second grandchild, newly born),
As I get congratulations,
I feel just a little torn.

I did nothing to deserve this - 
Just gave birth some years ago,
But I proudly will acknowledge
I have that new-nana glow.

So I'll gladly take the kisses
And the wishes and the praise
'Cause I've finally reached this milestone
After living all these days!
