My son Chris and my beautiful daughter-in-law Jaime, had their first child about 8:15 this morning. I was sitting here dazed by the wonder and joy of it all, and moved to putting my thoughts on paper. These aren't my exact thoughts, of course. I am incapable of expressing them. But, I hope these words say what a truly wonderful and joyful day this is for this unworthy grandpa. Welcome to the planet Earth, Jordan. May your heart be filled with your mother's and father's love, spirit and determination. Don't let gravity or anything else ever hold you down.
Jordan Lynne
The sun was bright on that cold March day
We knew Jordan Lynne was well on her way.
No news of any kind had our hearts on the edge
But no news is good news it's said by the hedge.
Grandmas and Aunties were all so aflutter
Impatiently awaiting to click every shutter.
She'll be the most loved child on the planet
Years before, that was hammered in granite.
Hair chestnut brown and eyes of bright blue
“She looks like her dad, no she's really more you”
As the relatives gathered around and opined
Deep in their hearts she became more entwined.
She's here, she's here for all to love and hold
From birth to adult, even when she grows old.
She's already the most loved child on the planet
Everyone can see it's hammered in granite.
