An ode to a girl I can still remember Has tried to make a change For the better Invited me to a kind of party A celebrated event To welcome the birth of her first born Into the world under clouded conditions Thanked us graciously for gifts given As a relative notated ownership In a baby book for later to reminisce And perhaps to write a "Thank You Card" It has been quite the journey to carry us here With as much as i talk **** about you I can't help but ponder it's entirety Remembering hospitals and drug binges Knowing you never let me down When i needed you the very most Still working on the indebted interest I will try my best To help you both through this Because to lean is to trust And you don't find that very much Regardless of past occurred dividends I will always try to give a thoughtful present And offer a kind smile to him Elias shall never need You will make sure but will give entrance To those you gathered in that room today While wishing you joy Knowing that we will all adore your boy
