Your Little One- For a Baby Shower

Your little one is on her way
To change your world from night to day
To show you how to laugh and play
Your little one is on her way

Your little one will bring delight
She’ll keep you up all through the night
She'll cry then coo till morning light
Your little one will bring delight 

Your little one will bring you joy
You thought at first she’d be a boy
She’ll make her Dad her little toy
Your little one will bring you joy

Your little one will bring you love
She’s sent to you from up above
She'll bring you peace, this Heaven’s Dove
Your little one will bring you love

Your little one is God’s own child
On both of you, heaven has smiled
So teach her to be meek and mild
Your little one is God’s own child

I wrote this poem this morning and read it at a baby shower for Naty Acuna, a good friend of mine from Argentina. Andres, her husband, is the University chaplain and men's dean. Naty is the women's dean. We are blessed to have them at Middle East University. They have come as missionaries. Yes, they will have a baby girl. They will name her Emma.  :)

Jan Allison Date: 3/1/2015 5:10:00 PM I hope you framed this delightful poem for them Eileen - a truly unique gift of words - simlpy perfect:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/1/2015 5:20:00 PM No, but I pulled out some cut outs that I have in a file....hoping one day to make a scrap book for my daughter. I had many. Used the figure of bee and cat...or something, and wrote on the backs of those and tied them together with ribbon. :) I think they liked it. Another lady asked me to send her a copy for her little boy. Hope I remember tomorrow. Hugs

Feeling down....Yes, it would be nice if you were there to see how I interact with people. I'm a bit of a loud mouth, I got all the ladies to OOOHHHH and AWWWWW after each present. I'm quite the character. Bit of a clown, really. I like to see people happy...Thanks for this post. Sweet of you.

Tim Smith Date: 3/1/2015 1:19:00 PM How sweet...love the line She'll make Daddy her little toy...so true...hugs Tim Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/1/2015 3:09:00 PM :) I know, Tim. I was a real Daddy's girl. Still am. Mom had me when she was 41...wasn't expecting it. I came after two brothers...the baby GIRL. So, yes, Daddy spoiled me. :) My daughter has HER daddy wrapped around her little finger. I feel like an outsider sometimes. Ah...it is a special relationship. Andres said..."If she has a smile like her Mama, I'm in for it!" :) Thanks for posting.
