We were expecting a boy or a girl... but we ended up with you.

A dreamer

         A charmer

                   Skin white as cream

                                               

Resilient like a hard-working farmer.

                                                    

Soon after you arrived, I noticed one funny thing, an added refinement

When you laugh, you sing! what a delightful development.

We love to be yours, your parents, your guiders

You're so precious to us,

You're one in a million.

                                                  

Better to be penny-wise then pound-foolish

Don't need to be heart-sore and full of anguish

My feet were full of blisters from pacing

But your arrival was truly amazing.

                                                  

We ended up with:

A soul that soars

             With energy galore

                          A lark that serenades

                                       An angel that saves.

                                                

A wonder of the world

             A wind at our backs

                        you are delightful in every way

                                     What more is there to say?

                                                                 

We were expecting a boy or a girl... but ended up with you, you, you

You're growing up, it's what you do, do, do

Please enjoy your journey and the view, view, view

One day soon, we hope that you will know that it's true, true, true

                                                                                              

That we're so happy that we had you.
