Poem
1. Our blessing, our son, our family clown The cracker of jokes, the soother of strife Takes it all in, teaches us to slow down Although he bungee jumped straight into life Yes, when he’s ready, he can move so quick But if he’s not, well, grab a comfy chair His brain might be poised to share his rare wit But he’ll be with you when he’s fixed his hair A man among men, our little Mister A thick slab of Corned Beef, this strapping lad Hashem sandwiched him between two Sisters Any lesser guy would be driven mad! Mazel Tov for attending this milestone Our young Joshua, how much he has grown! 2. Our young Joshua, how much he has grown. A thoughtful, caring, sensitive brother This charming young gent will ne’er be alone His big heart always considers others In negotiation, his mind unfurls Breaking down walls with the would be rivals After all, Josh is surrounded by girls And it’s his brilliant means of survival! Some must be taught to hold others the door Blessed is the young lad who intuits How to be of help, no prompting before Heart touches the world when you just do it. Tonight we revel, and give him a lift Let’s celebrate now our Joshua’s gifts! 3. Let’s celebrate now our Joshua’s gifts His freckles, emerald eyes, his quick humor His ability to mend sibling rifts Is so much more than an idle rumor. On the field he excels with glove and bat In the goal, he’s an unbreachable wall On the bike he floats, without going splat Down the slopes he screams, with mostly no falls. Some day he will own the finest machine That has ever been made for the roadway Poring through Car and Driver magazine Putting aside money for that big day. Frugality, prudence, an agile mind Joshua Quigley, a true and rare find! 4. Joshua Quigley, a true and rare find Chap of so much potential, I daresay A friend genuinely loyal and kind A mensch, a seriously cool hombre. So far there has been much laughing and jest Humor will always be with our Josh Q. But to mature means passing many tests He has completed this first one with you In the world of adults, and that of men A teenager is only finding his place So much adventure between now and then So many challenges for him to face. With intricate weaving on sacred loom, Josh’s heart and soul has begun to bloom 5. Josh’s heart and soul has begun to bloom Heart and mind have been shaped by the Torah Your background is ever important to you Even if Hebrew school seems a bore-ah To look history in the eye and say This lesson learned, now I do understand Never again do we need pass that way. If for your people you make a firm stand. If you build your life around those you love You can look everyone straight in the eye A man is a hawk, with heart like a dove. If I am not for them, then who am I? The toughest tasks yield most heartfelt reward Embrace your destiny, moving forward. 6. Embrace your destiny, moving forward. Become the best Joshua you can be. Actions and habits will make your reward. What will it be like? I can’t wait to see! At times you must fight to keep yourself right Journey from mind to heart isn’t easy To hold your deepest values well in sight Guiding light that will make life most pleasing And someday I know kind fate will find That someone who will fill you with joy, A companion as true and dear as mine And with luck you will be blessed with a boy! A wonderful feeling, a joy so sweet In parents‘ hearts when love and pride meet. 7. Our blessing, our son, our family clown, Has stood before you as a man this day A fella who turns around any frown Let those who love him help to light his way A crossing point, growing beyond the boy Begin the transformation extensive Leaving behind the childhood games and toys For newer ones that are more expensive! The seed of the grown man in him since dawn The child will always remain in his heart Of his family and all he relied on Even if they are many miles apart. Foundation of love, we give him our best. Let’s cheer as our Joshua starts his quest!
