For Jasmin

Every baby is a gift from God,
We believe it’s true
You were especially wrapped for mom and dad
In my womb until your due

The day came unexpectedly
My tummy ached so badly
And even though you were a preemie
Thank God for you were healthy and oh so lovely!

You turned our nights into days, literally
But you also made our sun shine more brightly
The sleepless nights were inevitable
But the joys it brought were unquestionable

Now, it has been a year since you were born
Time flies so fast as if it is being blown
And so with pride and happiness we’ll blow the horn
To signal the start of another milestone

So to you, baby, let us be the first to say
The words that you will hear all throughout this day
Anika Jasmin, happy, happy 1st birthday!
We love you unconditionally everyday!
