A Poem for Madelyn on her 2nd Birthday
Twinkle Twinkle little star
Do you know how very precious you are?
Our little teapot with her handle and spout
Getting all steamed up and letting it out!
Sweet, sweet Madelyn, our little Miss Muffet
Singing and talking while you sit on your tuffet
Reminiscing about our little girl
We can only smile
To think of how you’ve grown
In your unique and funny style
I think about your pretty hair
It takes mommy an hour to put a barret there!
Delightful & Darling
The outfits you wear
As you strip off another,
It’s just so much fun to be in the bare!
Little Red Boots and a silly hat
“We have to wear the right suit,
While chasing the cat!”
Elmo and Oswald were some buddies this year
“Giraffes can’t Dance” and “Peek in My Pocket”
Are the books you hold dear
You’ve Tee Teed in the potty, what a big girl you are!
Your little face lights up to see how proud we are!
You get Smarties as a prize. You count them one, two, three
There’s a sparkle in your eye as you ask for “more tandy?”
Late at night, tucked in bed
We hear a faint pitter-patter, a doorknob turning
Round the door peeks your little head
With a grin, and a late night yearning
For one more book, one more song,
Just one more hug, cause the nights so long
As I rock, your sweet head resting on my shoulder
I realize tonight your one-year-older
Quietly we rock to and fro
Quietly I face the truth I know…
Someday times like this will come to an end
And you’ll say good-bye to childhood friends
Like your blanket & pie, tried and true
That was once such a part of you…
I delight to see you grow up, my dear
But sometimes I’d like to hold this moment right here.
So grow up my darling, you have our blessing
To continue learning and growing, trying and testing
Daddy and I will do our best to let you fly
And catch you when you fall
And with God as our guide,
To give you our all
That’s all we can do, to love with full measure
Our precious child, our one earthly treasure
So Happy Birthday our two-year-old lovable Miss
And be sure to save us a kiss!
We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
