I was there when you took your first breath
When you came into this world with no fuss
I marvelled at your perfect 10 fingers and toes
And your huge eyes and little nose
I had to call someone to share my joy
(Your Dad was frantically trying to get there)
So I called my Mom, who just happened to be
Crocheting your blanket, and just doing the pink
We laughed and cried, each miles apart
But the ties were strong and you grew and you learned
And you studied so hard, no matter what the circumstances
And you never complained, that's what was so lovable about you
And you never were greedy or spoiled, just grateful
Which made my heart want it all for you,
And you got that, you excelled to the top of your class
You downplayed it all, so it was even sweeter
And to us you were always the incredible gift that was given.
