Our Yankee Doodle Sweetheart turns ONE!

We celebrate your birth, as you turn one today.
A year ago we met you, our sweet little bundle of love.
For on this very special day,
God gave away a gift from up above.

God has specially made you to the very tip of your nose,
as precious as a flower, as tender as a rose.
Fulfilled and blessed are our lives and all because of you,
as sweet as honey, from your head to your toes.

We watch and pray as you grow,
in love and faith, in beauty and grace.
You bring us joy and pure delight,
just to gaze upon your face.

Our hearts are with you wherever you may go.
As you journey through life, may happiness be all you know.
You are the joyful moments through our sorrow.
You are our hope and promise of tomorrow.

We asked God for a flower and He gave us a bouquet,
we asked God for a minute and He gave us a day.
We prayed to God for true love and He gave us that too,
we prayed to God for an angel and He gave us you.

May God bless you dear sweet Emma
especially on this day that marks your birth.
For all the special ways you bring,
a little bit of heaven to us here on earth.

Our beautiful, precious daughter,
may you be blessed today, tomorrow and always,
in peace, in health, in happiness and most of all love.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!
Love
Momma & Dadda
I composed most of this poem, but had a little help from Caroline Falzon.
