My husband and I currently have a 2 year old daughter - Jessica Waverly Wright. I just recently gave birth to our second child - a beautiful baby boy. He will be the fortunate one to carry on my husband's family name, "Wright". The baby's full name is Robert James Wright III. My husband is named Robert James Wright II. My husband's father is named Robert James Wright. My husband's grandfather is named Robert Morris Wright - hence the baby is the "III" and not the "IV". Everyone has hoped and waited for this special day when a baby boy would be born to carry on the "Wright" family name. Hence, I thought it would be very special to have a unique poem written to include on his birth announcement, have framed at his first birthday party, and eventually give to him at his 18th birthday when he graduates from high school to pursue whatever dreams he may have at that time.

Golden Boy

Our destinies are forever entwined, you'll be forever young, forever in my heart, I'll try to explain those feelings exactly, but it's hard just knowing where to start. On the day that you were born, the angels decided to create a dream come true, and although those words are not original, they are simply a perfect description of you. Because they've sprinkled sunlight in your hair, and they've given you the bluest of blue eyes, and you've got your father's good looks, but of course, that should come as no surprise. You see, you have a strong heritage, and your Dad was a "pretty good catch", and ours has been the perfect marriage, all in all, a sensational match. Your Grandparents are proud too, and you were born on their wedding day, you now have a lot to live up to, but we'll be with you every step of the way. I wish you happiness all your life, I wish you straight roads with not too many bends, I wish you love, meaning and dignity, I wish you lots and lots of special friends. I also wish you the odd valley, because there your true seeds of greatness will grow, just know that we'll always be there for you, and that's all you'll ever really need to know. And the Wright name will continue, and that's a source of understandable pride, and those words are full of meaning, because you are our dreams, personified. Because there's a proud name on my lips, and it's a name those angels must have heard, for I'm so just so very, very happy to say: Welcome ! Robert James Wright The Third.
