IT'S A GIRL!

    Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Mae,  looking so young and small.     We are wondering whom and what you'll be  when you've grown up five feet tall.     A doctor, a lawyer, an Indian Chief,  a teacher or a hard working girl?     I'll watch you from my rocking chair  as you give life a whirl!          Now two short weeks is awfully young,  we all wonder what you see.     I'd like to put you on my horses back,  maybe we'll start you on my knee.     All of your family is hanging around,  just ask and you'll receive,     I'm not really all that smart myself  thats just what I believe.          The day you were born was cold and gray,  your mother was running late.     Dad took time to park the car,  he knew you weren't going to wait.     He ran upstairs and put on a gown  while your mother was pulling her hair.     Who could of known when they pulled up out front  they had only thirteen minutes to spare.     Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Mae,  this poem is just for you.     I know right now you cannot read,  it's the least that I could do.     Take your time as you grow up  it does'nt matter what you'll be,     the only thing that matters at all  is that you're part of my family!
