Eavie Gemmabelle Jones 13/07/2006 Poem by Claire Jones

You didn't want to come out that day
Snug in mummys tum
But I'd finally be an aunty
By the time that day was done.

We waited and waited
and then you were born
Daddy looked so proud
Mummys emotions were torn.

You were born so beautiful
Long legs and sea blue eyes
Strawberry belly birthmark
Two parents full of pride.

Cheeky little smile
Wing nut ears for sure
So many aunties and uncles
And Grandparents you'll adore.

You dribble over everything
Throw up as if on cue
One precious little smile
and we'd do anything for you.

Now you've learned to giggle
and can very nearly crawl
We throw you up in the air
But would never let you fall.

You make our world much brighter
A truly special girl
We wouldn't change a thing about you
Not even the way you snore.

You laugh when daddys silly
and cuddle up to mum
Your the best niece we could wish for
With love from everyone.
