Jacob, draft no. 2

Jacob, sweet Jacob you are more precious than you know

Each day you grow as marvelous

as any red-haired he can grow.

I like your spins, I like your snickles,

I like your dins, I like your squiggles

What else could there be to like?

Your toes? Your ears?

Your two-wheeled bike?

I even think I like your likes.

 

Love,

Auntie Jen


Jacob, draft no. 1

Jacob, sweet Jacob, you are more precious than you know

I’m sorry because your sister is a girl you get second in tow…

It doesn’t mean at all you are not blessed you know

It hardly means anything except that you are free to be as wonderful,

as marvelous as any red haired he can be

I like your spins, I like your snickles,

I like your dins I like your scribbles [squiggles?]

I like your hair I like your giggles

What else is there to like? Your toes? Your ears? Your bike?

I even think I like your likes
