Today is the day you turn one year old
A special occasion's about to unfold
Family and friends will share in the joy
Each of them bringing our Leah a toy
Presents with bows and bright shiny wrap
Which Leah can open upon Mommy's lap
High chair at hand you're sat with pride
A cake with a candle there at your side
Then all will sing your birthday song
While you try your best to sing along
You'll blow and you'll blow while onlookers laugh
When the candle goes out they'll all give a clap
Grandma will snap pictures of your little sweet face
With ice cream and cake smooshed all over the place
People will kiss you and make funny faces
You'll enjoy the attention and all the embraces
All this for you our Leah dear
Because we love you and are so glad you're here
A milestone for sure that we can recall
Leah's first birthday a blessing to all
Author notes
Happy 1st Birthday Leah!!!!
