Leilani Rose
Aquarius
Almost born on my birthday
Loves to smile
And make people laugh
We weren't expecting you
Opened a card from your Mamma
On Father's Day
While I was golfing in Idaho
"You're getting a new fishing buddy"
It said
Well
Sometimes your grandpa
Needs hit over the head
To understand something
Now
Tears roll out of my eyes
Remembering that day
Leilani Rose
I love your mamma so much
We weren't expecting her either
You're the best surprises I ever had
Your first birthday little mamma
You're grandpa is so damn proud
Proud of you
And the one who had you
That I wrote down this poem
You're going to wear your birthday cake
Make all our faces light up
Clap, wiggle, and shake to the music
Spread your joy the Lei Lei way
Just like you party everyday
And I can't wait to see you
In your little party dress
Looking too cute
Flashing smiles I can't resist
I'm gonna play your favorite song
("Ain't Always the Cowboy")*
On my guitar
Because "A tumbleweed heart chasing that wind.
Goin too far, wherever that is."*
Might be the kind of woman you are
A lot like your grandpa...
Not hoping you are or you aren't
Just know you'll have someone
To relate to
And a pretty damn good fishing buddy.
Ain't Always the Cowboy" is a song written by Brandon Kinney and Josh Thompson and sung by John Pardi
