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.
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.
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.
Truly, I think you're a gift from God for (NAME) and I,
so gratefully, I will turn my eyes to the heavens above,
because I know I've been blessed to have shared you,
I know that I've been blessed with your love.
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!
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.
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.
We set in the spaces needle watching the fireworks,
as the rain poured down we hold each other's hand,
and I felt so priviledged to be with you,
in truth, I felt like the luckiest chap in all this land.
Our telepathy is such a beautiful gift,
and it's one that I treasure and behold,
and I'm so looking forward to our future,
to our future stories, as yes unwritten and untold.
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.
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.
You have this habit, no, like we said, it's a wonderful gift,
you have an ability to put the air under people's wings,
and a few words from you can make our hearts soar,
but that's only part of the magic that (NAME) brings.
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.
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.
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.
But you've always given us so much in our lives,
in truth, you've given the greatest gift, that's your time,
you still go to every school and sporting event,
truly, you've put the reason in every rhyme.
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?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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(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.
My plan in life is to set you a good example,
I want you to try your best to do what is right,
and I'll put 200% of my heart and soul into you,
I am going to use all of my Almighty might.
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.
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?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.
baby gift set unique
