Dearest, sweetest, cutest granddaughter,

You have no idea how precious you are to us.

And though you know not of your perfection,

The spirits of LOVE have made you thus.

With ten strong fingers, and ten wiggly toes,

(Not to mention your darling button nose)

You’ve captured our mind, our heart and our soul

And completed your Mom and Dad,

You have made them whole.

Your Lola and Grampa send you a LOVE

That’s so strong and so true,

On this blessed day, the First Birthday of you!

Love Always,

Lola Carol and Grampa Rave
