Gavin Alexander Rose

Given in praise to waiting hearts.
A joyful bundle of love.
Venturing into a world of hope,
Inspired by heaven above.
Nurtured within a family's arms,
         wrapped in a precious hold.
A bright new dawn of promises,
Life's wishes and hopes unfold.
Enchanting all who greet him.
X's and O's at every beat.
A heart fulfilled by answered prayers,
Now at last a family complete.
Dirt-stained cheeks and vibrant eyes.
Early boyish games,
Reveal to us the man he'll be,
        as hearts love and burn aflame.
Rendezvous with our Gavin's heart.
Offer your dreams tied tight in bows.
See for yourself the magic in him.
Enduring love of this new rose.
