Leilani Rose

Leilani Rose

Aquarius
Almost born on my birthday
Loves to smile
Makes people laugh

We weren't expecting you

Opened a card 
While I was golfing
"You're getting a new fishing buddy"
It said.

Well
Sometimes your grandpa 
Needs hit over the head
To understand somethng

Now 
Tears roll out of my eyes
Remembering that day

Leilani Rose
I love your momma so much
We weren't expecting her either

You're the best surprises I ever had

Your first birthday little momma
You're grandpa is so damn proud 
Proud of you 
And the one who had you
That I wrote down this poem

You're going to wear your birthday cake
Make all our faces light up 
Clap, wiggle, and shake to the music
Spread your joy the Lei Lei way
Just like you party everyday

And I can't wait to see you
In your little party dress
Looking too cute
Giving me a smile I can't resist

Going to play your favorite song
("Ain't Always the Cowboy")
On my guitar
Because "A tumbleweed heart chasing that wind. 
Goin too far, wherever that is."
Might be the kind of woman you become
A lot like your grandpa...
Not hoping you are or you aren't
Just know you'll have someone 
Who understands you 

And a pretty damn good fishing buddy.
