Leilani Rose Aquarius Nearlt born on my birthday Loves to smile And make people laugh We weren't expecting you Opened a card from your Mamma On Father's Day While I was golfing in Idaho "You're getting a new fishing buddy" It said Well Sometimes your grandpa Needs hit over the head To understand something Now Tears roll Remembering that special day Leilani Rose I love your mamma so much We weren't expecting her either You're the best surprise ever Your first birthday mamita You're grandpa is so proud Proud of you And the one who gave you life So I wrote this poem You're going to wear your birthday cake Make all our faces shine Clap, wiggle, and shake to the music Spread your joy the Lei Lei way Just like you party everyday And I can't wait to see you In your party dress Looking too cute Flashing smiles no one can resist I'm gonna play your favorite song ("Ain't Always the Cowboy")* Because "A tumbleweed heart chasing that wind. Goin too far, wherever that is."* Might be the kind of woman you are A lot like your grandpa... Not hoping you are or you aren't Just know you'll have someone To relate to And a damn good fishing buddy. Ain't Always the Cowboy" is a song written by Brandon Kinney and Josh Thompson and sung by John Pardi

This poem is so good. I love the feelings, of a time I wasn't apart of, that it evokes
