And so you reach the end of this,
your year number one.
Hanna Jae, you have
become a joy,
a joy to everyone.
You have taught us
to deal with the things that
life can throw your way;
Wearing issues with pride,
Melting hearts along the way.
You handled a brother
who’s bigger than you.
When he tackled you,
you knew what to do.
You just got back up!
When he takes his toys
away from you.
You just go back
and now take two.
You stay calm and
go with the flow.
Helmets and hip braces
Taught you to go slow.
Your face shows
the look of quiet observation.
A look of trust, acceptance,
and cautious experimentation.
Love is such a little word
But oh if you only knew,
how you’ve filled us to the brim
with this little word.
There’s so much love for you.
