As I sit down to write this verse, your life is very new
You’re very small, and yet we all can think of only you.
We’re thinking of the future, and the fun that you will bring
Of little shoes and giant zoos, and songs that we will sing
We think of stories we can tell, and treasures you can find
From pirates bold and tales untold of travelers through time
To find the wonder in the world is what we want for you
So that fantastic flights through sleepless nights will teach you something true
That when you’re as old as we are now, and the world seems very gray
When mermaid tides and princess brides seem very far away
That you will know no matter how dull the world can seem
That no matter how grown up you get, it’s always good to dream
