Dear Alexis
Sheila M Clavo 1958 (Hospital)
Into the world you were born
Dad watches you as you rest in his arm
He's so excited that you're finally here
But for you this world I fear
Mom loves you as much as she can
Big Sis say she's your greatest fan
More Granny's than the law will allow
We look at you with a Heavenly smile
Many family members & distant cousins
Send you all of their loving
First great grandchild in Dad's family
You're just as cute as you can be
You're one month old & eating better
But you're still as lite as a feather
Many people say you're a good baby
Will they say the same, if you're a lady
We want to see you grow up healthy
For us, we don't care if you're wealthy
Just remember you're Dad's lil girl
Many Blessings to you in our crazy world
