(To borrow from and paraphrase the great Billy Crystal)
I’m going to be your Poppie!
I have the biggest smile.
I’ve been waiting to meet you
for such a long, long while.
I have so much to tell you
Before it is too late.
I already know I love you
As I sit right here and wait.
I want to feel your hear beat
As you lie upon my chest.
I’m waiting to play peekaboo
And watch you as you rest.
I’m waiting to give you bear hugs-
The kind that last and last.
I want to watch you dream and play
And run so very fast.
I will teach you about our family,
With pictures from long ago.
You’re the new twig on our tree,
And I can’t wait to watch you grow.
Your mom is my daughter,
And your dad is his mom’s son.
They crossed the ocean water
To bring you home, sweet one.
Get ready little Xiao Hai
Your life will be just great.
I am going to be your Poppie
And I can hardly wait!
