Yeah, it's corny and sappy, but whatever.
I become a blubbering idiot around her.
Here's a poem I cranked out a few minutes ago:
My Little JRose
With her smiles and giggles and angelic blue eyes
She spreads light and happiness from her half pint size
To all those around her, she is honey-a rose bud
A golden sweet treasure to savor and love.
She's our little thrill-seeker, she loves to be scared,
She likes watching Nature, and no creature is spared.
Animals amaze her, and the fish are her friends,
She talks to them, feeds them, the fun never ends.
Tears rarely befall her, she's a stranger to none
She's is a life-giving drug, she shines like the sun.
We call her our princess, she rules all our hearts
She takes my soul with her, when we are apart
She's the best thing that's happened to me in a while
When I think of my JRose, I could never not smile.
It would be wrong not to mention my daughter and son,
They created this wonder, this sweet honey bun.
My son in law Jon is a father with heart,
The primary caregiver, she gets a great head start.
My daughter works hard, sometimes 6 days a week,
but she makes time for JRose, which is no small feat.
Both parents are wonderful, a balance is made,
And JRose is now poised to take the world's stage.
She has the world at her fingertips,
She breaks walls with her smile,
The future is wide open for this wonderful child.
And maybe just maybe, her grandma's there too,
To spoil her and teach her to swim and canoe,
To garden and sing for the joy of the song,
To dance like the wind when there's no one else home.
So Katie and Jon have a magical child,
A princess for fairy tales, for adventures gone wild.
With her smiles and giggles and angelic blue eyes
She spreads light and happiness from her half pint size
To all those around her, she is honey-a rose bud
A golden sweet treasure to savor and love.
She's our little thrill-seeker, she loves to be scared,
She likes watching Nature, and no creature is spared.
Animals amaze her, and the fish are her friends,
She talks to them, feeds them, the fun never ends.
Tears rarely befall her, she's a stranger to none
She's is a life-giving drug, she shines like the sun.
We call her our princess, she rules all our hearts
She takes my soul with her, when we are apart
She's the best thing that's happened to me in a while
When I think of my JRose, I could never not smile.
