Certainly.  But it depends on what you call ordinary.  The French poet
Cecile Sauvage wrote a number of poems when she was pregnant, celebrating
the joy of the child growing in her and how she sensed he would become a
very musical child.

Later, when the child had grown up, he used some of the poetry in his
"Trois Melodies" to pay back a little...  His name was Olivier Messiaen.
