When it was just him and me
We never knew our hearts could contain
So much more love and dreams
Until you came!
And now...
When you turn and smile
And in your own way, you tell me
Things are just going to be okay
I see a little bit of him in you...
When you rattle off numbers and days
And memories from years gone by
Of when you were even more little
I see a little bit of me in you....
When you keep your calm
In the midst of chaos, and
Give me a solution I just couldn’t figure
I see a little bit of him in you...
When you come crying
Because you couldn’t find a toy
In the place it’s meant to be
I see a little bit of me in you...
When you outwit me
With a matter-of-fact statement
And say it all with a straight face
I see a little bit of him in you...
When you widen your eyes
With expressions and gestures so dramatic
And yet so natural
I see a little bit of me in you...
When you roll your eyes
And clinch your teeth
To express your anger and yet contain it
I see a little bit of me in you...
You’re a bit of him and me
But more of your unique self in every way
You’re every dream we’ve ever seen
The answer to all our prayers
As you’re growing by leaps and bounds
We too are growing with you every day
You’ve made us not only mumma and dadda
But better humans in every way.
May you grow up to be a beautiful person
And flourish in all that your heart desires
Flying and yet grounded to your roots
Spreading love and sunshine everywhere.
Happy 5th Birthday, our little Sunshine.
Mumma and Dadda love you the most ❤️❤️❤️❤️
