A poem for Lillie on her christening day

Spurs game rescheduled in an unkind way 
It's important and we’d love to watch them play 
 
Need to put it into perspective though and say 
We can catch the highlights because this is Lillie’s day 
 
She’s a bundle of joy, a gift from heaven 
Early years needing attention twenty four seven
 
Imposing instant demands on Dad and Mum 
Cries of feed me now and change my bum 
 
Two big brothers, a bond you can see clearly 
Watch them all together, they love her dearly 
 
A pleasant day with family and friends 
But this isn’t where the gift of Lillie ends 
 
We can look forward to the coming years 
There’ll be times of smiles and some tears 
 
Nobody knows how the future will unfold 
But our precious Lillie will be ours to hold
