To Emma Grace
As Matt looked forward to the birth of his second
daughter and during her life, he wrote a poem to Emma Grace and we would like
to share it with you.
The cold winds of December
Blow
to test your faith
But
all the scarves and wool down blankets
Cannot
warm my heart as near as much
As
the day that I found Grace
Lakes
and springs begin to melt
Green
peeks through the ice
Hope
in May
Inspirations
from a springtime day
Cannot
compare in any way
To
the joy I feel but cannot say
On
the day that I held Grace
Cannonballs
and Popsicles
Slip
and Slides to beat the heat
Lemonade
in a sweaty glass
May
still the sun or quench your thirst
Nothing
else could ever be
As refreshing as the feeling of
The
day that I met Grace
Burnt
orange and crimson
Leaves
fall all day long
Football
in the snow
Pumpkins
all aglow
Cider
by the fire
May
make cold a liar
I’d
throw it all away tonight
For
that one moment burning bright
The
day that I knew Grace
My
daughter, Emma Grace
