Uncle Bill's poem for Kino

FOR YOU


We
Have waited for you

Longed
For you

Prayed and cried

For you

Yes, even laughed
For you

For your arrival
For you!

To come home
To us

What does life hold for you Kino Thang Irving?
What does each new turn, adventure
hold
and
unfold

For you

You are a gift of promise
A gift, simply put
of love
That will
Awaken us
Fill us
With hope

Hope
That only
A New life
Can bring





We look forward
to
your Firsts

And your thirst for discovery
For absorbing all that living has for you

We receive you
Greet you
Welcome you

As you enter in
Into the doorways
of
our hearts



Written for Kino Thang Irving and his Dad and Mom, Steve and Leslie Irving
