I wrote this poem for the first scrapbook I made for Gavin!


I was so excited on the day of your birth
For you to be with us, here on this earth.
When your little heart beat began to slow,
I prayed and prayed for it to go.
Your dad was so scared, mom started to cry
I thought to myself, please don’t let this child die.
I wanted to fix it, to make it all right,
But God took care of that, you were always in his sight.
You came into this world, so safe and so small,
Little fingers, little toes, and all.
A perfect little face so tiny and round,
You even were able to make my heart pound!
But God had a say, and he decided to speak,
Making you, Gavin, so special and unique.
You have this talent, a special skill,
It’s in God’s plan, it’s his will,
That you, a little baby, Will bring this family near,
Helping us to overcome all fear.
You help us all see lots of love,
Of those here on earth, and from God up above.
This is your job, it is your duty,
To fill this family with never-ending beauty!

Thank you so much! He has Down syndrome. Which is why his birth ended up being a little difficult for my aunt. And why I wrote the poem how I did. We were all pretty scared but two years later he is one great little boy. I love him dearly. I have made him 3 scrapbooks now! And I am continuing to make him one for every year. I cannot wait until he is old enough to understand the what the gift I am giving him is. I will love sitting down with him and going over all of the photos and pages.

You are an awesome Aunt, and he is truly a gift from God. Bless all in his family, and Gavin too.
