Cara's First Birthday
Someday you’ll watch home videos
of Friday, July 30th 2004
You’ll watch yourself eating birthday cake
opening presents and so much more.
You’ll smile at the butterfly at your window
who visited to observe the happy scene
He saw a precious Princess
who’s destined to become a regal Queen.
Your Mommy and Daddy will be smiling
their love for you is so intense
Each sound you make will have meaning to them
each nuance will show intelligence.
Laughter and happiness will come to celebrate
they’re easy to spot in each digital scene
But the pixels don’t show the whole story
so examine the spaces in between.
Our love for you is there, sweet Cara
and while it may not be photogenic
You can rely on it to always be present
unquestioning and authentic.
In our hearts, Cara
we’ve spent your special day with you
We love you very much
Happy 1st Birthday to you!
Love, Hugs, and Big Birthday Kisses
Grandpa and Oma
