A birthday gift, one year ago
Was brought into my life
A precious little girl
From Daniel and his wife

But now one year has come and gone
The time, oh how it flies
You are the happy one year old
Your folks have come to prize

From Mom you got your sparkling eyes
Your ready smile from Pa
The pretty name of Jaelynn Grace?
"Lynn" comes from each Grandma

Though we may share our date of birth
There's many years between
While you look back on only one
It's multitudes I've seen

So happy birthday, precious one
I wish you many more
More years to give the Saviour praise
For that is what life is for

(A poem written for Jaelynn from her Great Grandma Shirley Parish. They share the same birthday)
