Julia's 1st Birthday by Steve Manick

There's a new girl in town and her name's Julia Rose,
She's beauty and charm from her head to her toes.

The moment we saw her was love at first sight,
We'd care for and watch her long into the night.

With an innocent charm she giggles and sings,
There's no end to the joy that this little girl brings.

She carries a gift that will cast out your gloom,
A radiant smile that will light up a room.

With Adam she'll laugh and connect like no other,
So lucky to have such a wonderful brother.

She loves watching children and flying in the air,
To splash in the pool and to tug on your hair.

She'll sometimes feel lonely, calling us to her side,
Then stand up and clap, full of triumph and pride.

Mom feeds her lunch, healthy foods she will make,
Dad feeds her ice cream and frosting from cake.

Immobile for months, she now crawls 'cross the floor,
There's so much to learn and a world to explore.

As parents we wish her a life filled with plenty,
But Dad says that she can't date a boy 'til she's twenty.

Every day is exciting as she learns some new thing,
We can't wait to see what the next year will bring.

So we're happy to honor her very first year,
And to show Julia Rose that we're happy she's here.
