lyrics

Poppy Seeds

(Verse)
Before we even had our first embrace
For once I wasn’t able to find the words to say
Amazed that both of my Sister’s gave birth to date
All I can really say is it was well worth the wait
As your Mom’s gave you the insurmountable favor
Of delivering you after 20 hours of labor
Not to mention carrying you for 9 months in your belly
Knowing that eventually your time would come when you’re ready
August 21st is when the gift would begin
You came into this earth at 11:50pm
As my first Niece and my parents first Granddaughter
My Sister’s first seed, don’t know if they planned on her
But regardless you were right on time
Predestined to bless and ignite our minds
6 pounds and 10 ounces is what she weighed in at
Given the beautiful name McKenna Sage Penner
Then what had felt like just a matter of days
A month later my other Sister was having the same
With 2 baby nieces how could I be sad or complain
It’s all love from the double uncle that I became
But I don’t have the words to describe the way this feels to me
I guess all I can say is this is all surreal to me
Like these blessings must’ve predestined
Conceived after surviving a C-Section
On September 20th was like an answer called
At 12:15pm, Penelope Samantha Hall
You came to us all filling a hurt void
As 7 pounds and 3 ounces of pure joy
In our lives, in our minds, and our prayers
With blue eyes, a strong stare, and dark hair
Which in time would turn to a calm glare
After being embraced by your Dad and your Mom’s care
Yeah, cause what I’m speaking is first hand
They both raised me so I know you’re in good hands
Even though we weren’t prepared for such
It’s almost like God answered all our prayers at once
Transparently starring through those eyes
Close ties with new Grandparents on both sides
As each day you grow, the more you’re adorn
Because you’ve both been loved far before you were born
The world is yours baby girl I’ll fit it all in your palms
Everyday you’re starting to look a little more like your Mom’s
So as I’m writing this it’s more than just a rap song
So much to look forward to with nothing to look back on
Just our first holidays for our fam’s sake
And first birthdays together, I can’t wait
As your smiles are bringing us all laughter
It helps me forget about the things that don’t matter
Cause as a child I was never neglected
So thank you for the wisdom and a better perspective
Witnessed experiences I only used to read about
Like life is really a miracle I could see it now
Not that you’d need any words of encouragement
But you’re doing great, you both deserve it and earned it
It takes a princess to raise a Queen
Who you’ll both grow to be, I can’t wait to see

(Chorus)
Cause we’ve been blessed by not one but two
Now we’re really living proof, dreams do come true
But it wasn’t easy, their were lessons that were learned
In order to give birth and that credit you deserve
Cause both of your girls were made from love
So everyday we give thanks and give praise above
So for now you’ll always know where to stand
Until you’re old enough to spread your light all over the land
