child poem

(NAME) had numerous stories about her childhood,
the farm, walking to school and having the first Model T,
and I remember as a child myself, trips to Aunt (NAME),
we'd play with the cousins (and that was a great place to be).

(NAME) had numerous stories about her childhood,
the farm, walking to school and having the first Model T,
and I remember as a child myself, trips to Aunt Zetta's,
we'd play with the cousins (and that was a great place to be).

Our child will have a wonderful mother,
you are caring, loving, thoughtful and kind,
and I'm looking forward to our future,
our three destinies are forever entwined.

You see, you've grown up so beautifully,
and remember, I've know you since you were a child,
but I must admit, at times, you've worried me,
and there were parts of you that had grown a little wild.

Growing up, every child had a major accident,
Mom would stay calm and in control, so we're told,
but as soon as we'd get to the hospital to get patched up,
well, then she'd be overcome and pass out cold.

I'm proud to be your "favourite" first grandchild,
and that's what you tell everyone I know,
you then go into detail what I did as a child,
I guess you've always been proud watching me grow.

Every week, she watches my daughter while I work,
and it was not easy, caring for a child on my own,
but (NAME) has always loved me so unconditionally,
I'm very grateful for all the love that she's shown.

She was from (PLACE), she was an awesome bowler,
Swedish heritage but became an Italian through and through,
she was proud of her large family (she was an only child),
and all twenty Eight say: "(NAME), we're very proud of you"

You've made such a difference to us,
I'm so glad it was your number that I dialed,
because I sincerely believe, that without you,
I would've never got to hold my miracle child.

Because you must have been a miracle child,
for now you truly are a remarkable man,
you are just like "Patch Adams",
caring, lovable and just doing what you can.

You said you would love it if I would write you a poem,
but I know that you're very creative, and I am not at all,
but in anything I have ever done, you've supported me 110%,
and I am just so very glad that you made that initial call.

You wrote and read a poem at your father?s service,
and you spoke about him missing your wedding day,
and although that one line expresses so much,
it still means there's so much left to say:

Ah, Mignonne, in how few hours,
The petals of her purple flowers
All have faded, fallen, died;
Sad Nature, mother ruinous,
That seest thy fair child perish thus
'Twixt matin song and even tide.

I'll never forget the marina nor the sunset,
as the sun was setting I announced our new dawn,
and I'd like to thank for our miracle child,
I felt complete on the day that he was born.

(NAME) has traveled far and wide,
unfortunately, some of it was with Liberty One,
(NAME) was a child of the dot com revolution,
and we've all been burnt by that imaginary sun.

He is the most unselfish man I know
and as a child there was little he possessed,
he grew up on lard sandwiches and biscuits,
but he made sure his family always had the best.

They found some problems that I'd been fighting for years,
and this meant that I could no longer give birth
it broke my heart I couldn't give you a child of your own,
it was about then I found out your true and honest worth.

Dad talks the talk and walks the walk,
he has always been as solid as a rock,
and Mom has more energy than all of us combined,
probably because she's kept that child like clock.
