My Baby

A Granddaughter is so special
She will fill your life with love
Like a rainbow made with sunshine
When rain falls from above
Precious memories she will give you
Many heartaches and some tears
She's a treasure that is priceless
That will last you all your years

4 Weeks of Bliss

4 weeks of joy
4 weeks of awe
4 weeks of pride
4 weeks of gratitude
4 weeks of being humbled
4 weeks of appreciation
4 weeks of bliss
4 weeks of love
4 weeks of you

I love you Nayeli

3 Weeks

So today is 3 weeks and I have fallen more and more in love with you every day. I take care of you for 2 hours every day and they are the most peaceful 2 hours of the day for me. When you lay on my chest and look up at me with your pretty little eyes, it fills me with joy and serenity. You make me want to live and be a better man, and you make me dream about a better future for all of us. You are the miracle that I needed in my life, the tangible evidence that God loves me.

Two Weeks

Today is two weeks that you have been with us and I wrote you a poem:

Nayeli

You came in,
like a fresh summer breeze,
a quiet murmur,
a soft touch to the skin.
Sweet relief
from my long and dreary
hot summer days.
You cooled my heat and calmed my breath.
You soothed my soul
and replenished the depleted reserves
of my spirit.
You made me want to see another day,
another sun rise,
another moon in the sky,
and I will always,
always,
love you for that.

2 a.m.

I came into the room you share with your mommy and your Tia Josie and I found your mommy feeding you with the most tired look on her face, but with most profound look of love in her eyes as she stared at you...

One Week With You

So it has been one week with you in my life and I have some things to tell you:


You have your grandmother's feet,
your second toe is longer than your big toe
You look like your aunt Josie
When you smile my heart skips a beat
When I hold you I feel like I am holding
the most precious of my possessions
You make your mommy laugh and cry
and I am so happy about that
And when I kiss you I feel like I am
kissing the angel that has come
into my life to make me a better man...

I love you Nayeli and you are truly
my little bundle of joy...

To Hold A Miracle

It is rare to be able to hold a miracle in your arms, but I am privileged enough to do that today. I held you in my arms and felt the awesome power of my God at work in my life. You are the miracle in my life and I thank God for you...

You Are A Blessing
