Papa's Kids
William Joseph
By Alvin Benatovich
A child is born
The name to carry on
Dreams to fulfill
This only son
He brings with him
Feelings of joy
A welcome namesake
This infant boy
The future is his
We pray he�ll be
Happy and healthy
And contentment see
Jillian Joy
By Alvin Benatovich
A wondrous meld
This child of love
We are so happy
For this gift from above
Your arrival has made
Everyone glad
Sister, brother
Mother and Dad
Holding you close
For just a short while
You bundle of love
With familiar smile
Of your smile
We thank the stars above
And could flood the earth
With just part of our love
We could eat you up
Sweet thing that you are
It is too bad
That you live so far
You won our hearts
And it is plane to see
You are quite special
To Grandma and me
When you marry
In spirit we shall be
At your side
For eternity
Louisa
By Alvin Benatovich
A theme now
So familiar to me
This baby girl
Born across the sea
So often wished
And waited for
This joy fills by heart
Forever more
A baby girl
Born of love
This child so perfect
A gift from above
How can
A love so pure
Not cause
The heart to stir
E-Guy
By Alvin Benatovich
A child is born
This gift from above
Surrounded by family
Surrounded with love.
In his smile
I see his father,
In the twinkle of his eye
A hint of his mother.
Mom, Dad, Sister
And extended family too,
Have waited long
To welcome you.
Brother, cousin
And son is he,
What will he look like
When he's as old as me?
Ethan Gabriel
With features fine
I can't believe
This Grandson is mine.
The Syd"ster"
By Alvin Benatovich
August's child,
Is Sydney Beth,
Her smile alone,
Steals your breath.
Hi! She says,
With a glint in her eye.
This "little imp",
Makes spirits fly.
The Sydster's reputation,
For temper is known,
From day care enrollment,
She was thrown.
Kissing and biting,
Her ofense so vile,
Sentenced and punished,
Without a trial. :)
At eigheen months,
She's Mommy's double.
Poor, Poor, Daddy,
He's in for trouble!
Miss Sydney Beth,
With eyes of blue,
Your Pa Pa loves
And misses you
Zachary
By Alvin Benatovich
Hair of Fire,
With energy galore,
Zachary's location,
Is above the floor.
Running, jumping,
And talking a blue streak,
This little dynamo,
Leaves everyone weak.
Magic and darts,
He loves to play.
As far as fishing,
Pa Pa will show the way.
In fall we'll fly
Our kite real high.
I'll hold, you, run and pull
High into the sky.
Your Pa Pa hopes,
You like his rhyme.
He loves and thinks of you,
All of the time.
DANIELLE
by Alvin Benatovich
A twinkle in her eye,
So much like her Dad,
Emphasized by a smile,
That makes your heart glad.
Glad to be alive,
And able to share,
Her warm soft touch,
With presence so fair.
She, plaything for Mom,
And guarded by pet,
No tears this doll,
Well maybe when wet.
Well worth the journey,
No matter how stark.
no better reason,
To leave the dark.
By click of the clock,
Her thoughts fill my mind,
With the greatest joy
I will ever find.
