Addie's Poem-2009

Now it is time for your Christmas poem!
The Poem Tradition just started! Oh No!
I would like to write a poem to you each year,
And read them at Christmas to bring cheer.
You’ll have to forgive me in advance,
For a little silly they will be, there’s a chance.
But so too, they will be sweet
I’ll tell the number of ways I love you, and remind you of all your feats.

So this year, in 2009
I remember the way you began to grow into a young lady fine.
Your hair so curly and your eyes so blue,
Daddy’s going to have to start carrying a big stick for you!
You loved to do crafts with you mommy so much,
You began to do cheers, wear pony tails, and jump-toe touch!

Your favorite food, we found out was gluten-free
You love your rice crackers and your ice tea.
Yes, yes, you are a mama’s girl,
You love to mix Jason’s Deli’s icecream in a swirl (twist).

And now, right now in this Christmas time of cheer.
I’d like to say “Thank you” for letting me be your Daddy this year.
It was the greatest year of our lives, this much is true
We’ll love you forever, all the way to the moon.

I love you,

Dad
