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
