Happy First Birthday Emmit

Happy Birthday

Emmit Keith Johnston

In your first year you have proven already that you are a survivor, a fighter, a lover, a joker, a good eater and a strong little boy.

I wish you many birthday wishes dear son, but what I wish for you the most is a lifetime of health and happiness.

Your father and I love you to the moon and back and thank our lucky stars for you. We are truly blessed to have such a perfect little baby boy.

You are the one and only ever you...
Who in the world is exactly like you...

You are a miracle...

Wonderful... marvelous... you...

On the night you were born you brought wonder and magic to the world...

The sound of your name is a magical one...

Not once had there been such eyes, such a nose, such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes...

So whenever you doubt just how special you are and you wonder who loves you, how much and how far, listen for geese honking high in the ski ( They are singing a song to remember you by) Or notice the bears asleep at the zoo. ( It's because they've been dancing all night for you!)

If the moon stays up until morning one day, or a lady bug lands and decides to stay,

or a little bird sits at your window awhile, it's becasue they're all hopping to see you smile...

For never before in a 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...

Heaven blew every trumpet and played every horn on the wonderful , marvelous night you were born...

On the night you were born, the whole world came alive with thanksgiving...

The moon stayed up till morning...

For you are wonderfully made...One 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...

You are the one and only ever you...

We love you Emmit.

Happy First Birthday.
