She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
I also can't believe the depth of feeling I have for you,
truly, it would reach to the bottom of the deepest sea,
and I'll never forget the our first date with your hand on my back,
what ran through me I can only describe as electricity.
It feels like God and destiny have played a hand,
and who can ever steer and control the winds of fate,
and although some of those winds have been quite cruel,
they've blown me to you, my one and only soul-mate.
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
And I will also always be there for you,
if you ever need a shoulder or a helping hand,
divided we shall fall and be conquered,
but together and united we will make a stand.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
I'll never forget our trip to New Orleans on labor day weekend,
if you recall, I was very keen to keep holding your hand,
how we were supposed to know it was the Gay Mardi Gras?
We've nothing against them (but it wasn't as we'd planned).
Little did I know you had feelings for me too,
but night after night, I prayed and prayed
sincere, romantic,funny,respectful and handsome,
when I look at you I see the hand that God has played.
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.
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.
Little did I know you had feelings for me too,
but night after night, I prayed and prayed
sincere, romantic,funny,respectful and handsome,
when I look at you I see the hand that God has played.
Well, I think "you", are indeed, my real gift,
because I love you truly, with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel complete,
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
I remember your beautiful speech and the chocolates,
and never has there been a more thoughtful gift,
but I just got embarrassed and then pathetically angry,
now I just realize you were trying to give me a lift.
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.
But we managed to get through that year,
and the next year you moved down the street from me,
you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
And now, my life is so full of meaning,
because you're walking with me and holding my hand,
and (NAME), you've given me so very much,
especially an ear that will unconditionally understand.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
In gymnastics, you do back hand springs and front flips,
and we know you love flying across the uneven bars,
and we also know that you're going to fly through life,
who knows? Maybe one day you'll be one of the Olympic stars.
And you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
I am so happy to have you in my life,
we never argue and it's "me" you understand,
I can always come to you with any problem,
and you'll lend a sympathetic ear or a helping hand.
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 you're such a perfect gent, a true romantic,
your little presents always give me a such lift,
and you've told me that even when we're married,
you said that you'll still make a point of giving me a gift.
And I'm glad I held your hand at the very last,
it seemed so fitting, we'd been through so much together,
so Dad, just know that I miss you and I love you very much,
and one day, we'll be fishing again, but this time, forever and ever.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
I am so happy to have you in my life,
we never argue and it's "me" you understand,
I can always come to you with any problem,
and you'll lend a sympathetic ear or a helping hand.
