You couldn’t wait to join us
We couldn’t wait to see you

A few weeks early
Yet perfect
Bursting out
into daddy’s arms
A tiny gift
Sweetest face and biggest hands

You couldn’t wait to take a breath
We couldn’t wait to finally breathe

The ranch is so excited
Goose Dog
Mochi Cat
Rooter Pig
All the chickens
Mostly idyllic and wonderfully messy

You couldn’t wait to see the world
We couldn’t wait to show you off

Into a family of love
Forever bonding
All of us
Who came before
Mixed together
Some sassy and many sweet

You can’t wait to put on your boots
We can’t wait to see you get them dirty

A big, wide world to see
Rocks to climb
Horses to ride
Fences to mend
Life to explore
Sometimes tough and often amazing

You can’t wait for whatever comes
We can’t wait to see your adventure
