| It was summer, hot and dry
|
| That’s when I heard your newborn cry.
|
| It was your way of saying
|
| “Look out world, here I come
|
| Now everybody let’s have some fun!”
|
| And fun it was, right from the start
|
| You found your way into everyone’s heart.
|
| Your disposition so sunny and sweet
|
| Put a smile on your face, for everyone you’d meet.
|
| Always wanting to be the center of attention
|
| You did so many things too numerous to mention!
|
| A neighbor came by, at his wits end
|
| You informed him “You’re wife’s out with her new
boyfriend!”
|
| My friend came to visit one day
|
| Her make-up was “a little bold”, I’d say.
|
| You came in, and plopped right down
|
| You told her “You look like a clown!”
|
| So many times I turned beet red
|
| Hearing some of the things you said.
|
|
You are brutally honest, that’s a fact
|
| I’ve tried to teach you diplomacy and tact.
|
| You’re loving and caring
|
| Sometimes too daring.
|
| You’re headstrong; your heart rules you
|
| And that has caused a mistake or two!
|
| You’ve had rough times, from choices you’ve made
|
| You’ve faced them squarely and not been afraid.
|
| You’ve heard these words many times before
|
| “You’re a survivor, you always bounce back.”
|
| And I give thanks to God for that.
|
| You’ve been the bane of my existence, the joy of my
heart
|
| I could not bear it if we were to part.
|
| You’re my child; you’re my friend
|
| And I’ll be there for you till the very end.
|
