T is for Tobias

You wanted to come to us early and gave us quite a shock

We took a quick look at the clock

Hannah started her car and dashed you to the maternity ward

‘Oh no,’ they said.  ‘Millie, you aren't far enough forward.’

Mummy and daddy like to prove people wrong

And out you came, small but strong

We counted all your fingers and your toes

Then we let everybody know.

The wondrous miracle next generation

With your light reddish hair and no question

That we would love and adore you and keep you safe

There would be no chance for you to be a waif.

I look at your picture every day

Loving you more in every way

Knowing that you are developing and growing

As I listen to you chuckling and cooing.

I gaze adoringly at my newest grandson

Wanting to cuddle and hug Tobias John

We call you Toby which suits you down to the ground

It feels as if you have always been around.

Your big sister Robyn

Cousins Sean, Josh and Devan

No shortage of playmates to keep you company

As we all look on proudly.

Beautiful boy

TOBIAS
