Lucia's birthday

It falls to every uncle,
If he be worth his salt,
To shoulder blame should family name
Be lost through his own fault.
For highly need he value
And protective he should feel
Towards any one, daughter or son,
Who bears the surname Steele.
To take one fine example,
A young woman come to flower,
When cameras pan shown that she can
Be sweet sixteen, not sour.
How fortunate we are
Each port her ship arrives
To watch her grow, to see her flow

In and out our lives!
