Even baby poem is "an elevated composition in verse"(The Concise Oxford Dictionary), no worries - just write about what comes to your mind, and unleash your creativities to organize your thoughts and feelings about the arrival little one.

Don't try to be a poet and stay away with those fancy language and obscure words. Simply put any baby items and baby related topics together. Then use the words that can express your expectations and wishes for the little one and the parents-to-be.

* What is Mom's name
* What is Dad's name
* What does a baby like to eat or drink
* What does a baby like to have for the new life
* What do you hope the baby to learn from your life experiences

Once you find the baby poem that you like, re-write it, keeping the basic meaning of the words the same, but using your own voice. And replace some of its sentences by your own words (like a special wishing or a unique baby gift's name) if you want.
