When You Can't Hold Still

When You Can’t Hold Still

Happy first birthday little Griffen.

I miss you and love you SO much.

There is a boy named Griffen

With a motor in his middle.

When mom says hold still

He thinks it is a riddle.

"Hold still"means to jump

And "be quiet" means to roar.

"Sit down" surely means

Jump off the couch and soar.

“Oh No!” means mom is crazy

And “No -No!” makes you cagey

When Dad says, “Get down from there.”

You smile and take it as a dare.

 Bath time means to run away

Before your mom can ruin your day.

Diaper change is such a chore

For this little boy we all adore.

But story time – now that’s the gem

They take you in their arms . . . and then -

They sing the words into your heart

So you can’t get the wiggles to start.

And before you know it, you’re fast asleep.

They put you to bed - then take a peek.

For a little boy who’s full of giggles

Now there isn’t even one little wiggle.
