Serena you are an angel, a blessing from above
You’re magical, a miracle, a bundle full of love
You’re everything we longed for as precious as a pearl
A rosy cheeked, sparkly eyed, beautiful little girl
It’s impossible to think back on life before you came
And to wonder how since your arrival things will never be the same
For Mummy and me it was a meeting of minds, souls and hearts
And then you added a new dimension to the sum of all those parts
You came out into the world holding your head up high
And you greet us with a wriggle and wave and a special little cry
You love nursery rhymes and stories – you’re always full of fun
And the smile you have when you see us is as warm as the sun
You love music and dancing and things with flashing lights
And watching you wiggle your bottom is one of our favourite sights
You’re the centre of our family one of the ties that bind
And a future full of warmth and support is something you will find
As you travel on life’s journey and start to make your way
Friends and family will be there for you as they are today
We wish you real happiness in everything you do
As we have found real happiness has come through having you
You reach out for experiences with arms open wide
And whatever choices you make in life, we’ll be there by your side
As your mummy and daddy we can’t wait to see
Just what sort of person you’ll grow up to be
And whichever way you go in life is sure to make us glad
Especially if you include on your list – looking after your dad!
