Poem For One-Year-Old

When You’re One

by Grandma Baadsgaard

Happy First Birthday Gideon.

I’m so glad you are my grandson.

Have a happy day.

When you’re one, you’ve just begun and all the world is bright.

Each blade of grass just won’t last; all wonder is in sight.

When you’re one, you’ve just begun and all the world is new.

Each budding flower creates a bower; each day is clear sky blue.

When you’re one, you’ve just begun and all the world is true.

Each warm embrace you can’t replace; you smile and clap and coo.

When you’re one, you’ve just begun and all the world is fast.

Can’t hold on for too long; each cherished day won’t last.

When you’re one, you’ve just begun and all the world is love

Each tiny babe - two parents made - heaven sent from above.
