Grandma Tara has a hidden talent that not many people know about, one that I certainly don't have, the ability to write poems. She doesn't do it much, only with a healthy dose of inspiration (ie YOU).
Little late posting this, but here it is nonetheless....
(Shortly after your birth)
Spencer
I am so happy you're here
It took long enough!
Waiting 9 months
Was pretty rough
I never imagined how
good looking you'd be
No matter what they say
you get that from me!!
I made your mommy
And your mommy made you
So I guess she played
A little part in that too.
(but don't tell her... ok)
Not long after you were born
You scared us to death
You choked on something
And couldn't catch your breath
So your mommy,
and your daddy, and I
took turns watching you
All through the night
We had to make sure
That you were ok
So we stayed up all night
For about 4 days
You finally stopped choking
And seemed alright
So your mommy and I
Got to sleep through the night
We took you upstairs
To your mommy's bedroom
Your mom layed you down
Then you woke up real soon
You werent eating real good
After we brought you home
And your mommy was worried
that something was wrong
You lost too much weight
and your mommy was sad
But then you did a big poop
And we all were so glad
You ate and you ate till
Your mommy was sore
You gained back some weight
So she kept feeding you more
The next time we went
They said you were fine
You had gained some more ounces
I think it was nine.
That made us all happy
Cause we love you so much
I guess all it took
Was your mommies sweet touch.
There were a few rough nights
When no one could sleep
Your daddy was the first
To break down and weep.
Your mommy was next
She had not eaten that day
Then you peed in her food
And she ate it anyway.
I laughed at them both
Cause I had been there to
When your baby is crying
And you don't know what to do.
But they figured it out
And I think they'll be fine
I hate to go home now
But I think it is time.
I am leaving you though
In the best hands there could be
They love you so much
Almost as much as me!!
Love always,
Grandma
