for Eira Jean Findlater Gowland on the occasion of her first birthday March 8, 2016
written + illustrated with love by Auntie Goob, Uncle Geoff and Cousin Watson
Eira Jean, Tiny Bean, Came into this world By unusual means.
Now she’s here, Let’s be clear! She’s the sweetest girl That we all hold dear.
Apple cheeks, Coos and squeaks, She’s a chatty girl But she rarely shrieks!
Calmest babe with a gentle way but full of spirit When you don’t get your say!
Tiny feet And hands so sweet, Makes a mess Whenever she eats.
Sparkly eyes, Chubby thighs, You sing ‘twinkle twinkle’ And gaze at the skies.
Perfect poise amongst 3 boys. She loves her cousins (despite the noise).
We cannot be Across the sea, And the everyday things, We might not see.
As life unfurls, Our Eira girl, We think of you, Across the world.
Now you are one, life’s just begun. We’ll see you soon, And we’ll have such fun!
