And as you know, baby's can be expensive,
so it'll be out of the blue and into the red,
but I just wanted to say "Thank You"
and maybe that's just enough said.
And I know you like to gossip about everything,
and I think we should include "you" in on that list,
but you're also a baby with pain, such a drama queen,
and cleaning school was a lesson that you missed.
I'll miss the jokes about "(NAME)",
Your infectious laugh and the stories of your family.
Remember us as your "baby nurses" and the fear on our faces,
Suctioning trachs and "cathing" private places.
And the village would change it's ways forever,
watch it really soar with it's Ubuntu sails unfurled,
of course, it would still be the same shape,
but boy, that village would be a different world.
You have the quick and fiery temper of an angry cat,
and we?ve learned how to avoid the snap of your claws,
but for our precious Baby Girl, we only have love,
and for you, we?d like to give you a round of applause.
(NAME), you?re our precious ?Baby Girl?,
and this is something you know by now, of course,
we?re so proud of our determined warrior,
even though Whinny, you can laugh like a horse.
So we tried for our beautiful baby,
there was lots of fun but plenty of heartache involved,
but I guess we needn't have worried,
beautiful things often take time to become evolved.
Mom's family is simply her life,
she baby-sits and generally helps out,
and she is so very loved by all,
she's taught us all what love is all about.
So, there he was, April 20, 1945, in (PLACE),
and the hospital happily resounded to: "It's a boy!",
truly, he was his parent's dreams personified,
in every way, he was their pride and joy.
And (NAME) is already our squealing little baby,
he too gets excited when we have our cuddle time,
but despite us living in this crappy, old cheap apartment,
we're still finding the reason in our rhyme.
Because (NAME), we really do love you,
and we?ve never really said just how wonderful you are,
but baby girl, if our love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
Because then, we were into the baggy clothing,
but now look at us, the "baggies" have gone,
and (NAME), I just wanted to say thanks for being you,
your love for me has always brightly shone.
So now we have our house and an unexpected baby,
those winds of fates can be little monkeys at times,
but (NAME), I just wanted you to know how happy I am,
yes, you're the one who's put the reasons in my rhymes.
A young kid at our age is really tiring,
but we wouldn?t change a single thing,
it?s amazing how much joy we have,
it?s wonderful how much love one boy can bring.
You?re a fabulous grandfather and papa,
and I can?t wait until our baby meets you, face to face,
because I know <NAME> and <NAME> love you so,
and you?ve made all our world?s a much better place.
Your Mom gave us our parting instructions,
and boy, it was a lot of fun we had,
but I guess some things are simply destined,
because in a matter of days, somehow we knew you were a Dad.
You are a world champion snorer,
boy, you can really snore !
In fact, you've sawn so many logs,
they litter our forest floor !
Because about a year later, I got pregnant,
but tragically, I lost the baby along the way,
and the doctors had some more bad news for me,
and I'll never, ever forget what they had to say.
I love the way you take your Baby Book to the library,
I love how you always want to fix everything,
even those things that you have no control over,
these are just some of the many joys that you bring.
Now, (NAME) was born on (DATE),
in a great little place, ((PLACE), (COUNTRY),
and they came to the States when (NAME) was just a boy,
his Mom and Dad wanted a better place to be.
I?m very proud to be part of this family,
and it wont be that long before my ?earth-day?,
so please don?t forget to send your designs in,
because Baby (NAME), number ten, is on the way.
