First Birthday

Leo, it's your day today! Leo, it's your first BirthDay!! A year ago your mom and I Began our lives again In You, A year ago your wondrous, tiny, warm and unbelievable presence Filled that magic room; How I remember tiny fingers, toes Recall the errands I would run The little teddy bear, your first gift And the hat the volunteer knit you; Oh, this day a year ago Was so ebullient, thrilling, tranquil, perfect How our lives were lifted Into heaven in your every breath This Love Began So Large And Every Day Has Only Gotten Bigger You're the Greatest Gift I can't believe it's been a year Since that Translucent Day when You appeared Your Mom and I The World's Foremost Fortune cradled in our arms could never be more happy than we are already every day we get to see you Darling Leo. Happy Birthday! Love YOU. DaddyZ ZL 5.17.12
