On Jude’s second birthday, I wanted to share some words from one of my favorite children’s book. I couldn’t describe the night that Jude came into this world any more eloquently.
On the night you were born,
The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
And the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
And the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
………………
Because there had never been anyone like you…ever in the world.
So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain
That they whispered the sound of your wonderful name.
So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain
That they whispered the sound of your wonderful name.
………………
Not once had there been such eyes,
Such a nose,
Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.
Such a nose,
Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.
………………
For never before in story or rhyme
(not even once upon a time)
Has the world ever known a you, my friend,
And it never will, not ever again…
………………
Jude, Heaven blew every trumpet
And played every horn
On the wonderful, marvelous
Night you were born.
Jude Thomas Gardner, I can’t wait for you to truly understand how the whole world changed on the magical night you were born. There has never been, and never will be anyone in the world quite like you. Happy second birthday baby.
