Poem not by me

A friend of my mum's wrote a poem about Elana's birth for my mum - I just found it again in an old email and thought I'd share it.

Elana Grace arrived this week
everything was pefect from her toes to her cheeks
her grandma was thrilled it was plain to see
sending her picture to you and me

her Grandpa just took it in his stride
but one could tell he was full of pride
he will pretend its no big deal
but that little girl his heart will steal

Kathy her Nanna was soon on the phone
telling anyone if they were home
funny how something so small
can have such an effect on us all

and if we are lucky we will see her grow
touching all with love this i know
but some of us will miss this treat
as she first stands on her tiny feet

the 6th of december is your special day
From now on Elana it will be your birthday
and many of these we wish for you
lots of love from keith and sue.
