happy birthday harry

We've had you around for four years now
and what a blessing those years have been.

In just a couple of hours we will celebrate with you
and rejoice once again that you are ours.

You don't know it yet but
you are getting the
big "Buzz Lightyear."
Yes the one with sound and lights.
You have wanted it so long
and have been so patient.

And yes....
Your cake has a dolphin on it,
just like you requested.

At four years old,
you are the kind of boy who...
starts at the other end of the house,
builds up a head of steam running,
and launches yourself into my arms,
laughing hysterically
and saying "I love You Gram."

You are the kind of boy who....
upon entering my house
filled with people waiting to eat a meal,
says this,
"Grammie, will you please read me this book?"

You are the kind of boy who
loves lavishly,
hugs frequently,
is often found up in a tree.

You are growing taller and stronger each day.
You love books,
and you have captured your granddaddy's heart.
You like to eat corn on the cob
and you know for sure
that grammie
will always have
some kind of treat for you after you eat your meal.

O sweet little boy,
henry douglas cleland,
we all love you so much
and our lives are so much better because of you.
grammie
