For My Nephew, Vincent

To my first nephew and special friend:
We've shared so much through the years.
We had a lot of good times
and together shed some tears.
I remember the night you arrived,
I stayed up late waiting for the call.
A little boy is here!
A prince to be adored by all!
Your beginning was a bit scary,
your Mom sure had it rough.
But you were here and all was right.
We just couldn't love you enough.
I was always at your house
watching your every step.
Even when I wasn't there,
in my heart you were kept.
I'll never forget the school field trips,
the proms, and Wildwood vacations,
communion, confirmation,
and every graduation.
You never failed to make us proud
with every step you took.
With all the joy you have brought me
I could fill up a whole book.
And when you reached adulthood
our relationship only grew.
You became a special friend
These words are more than true.
And now you're taking another step,
becoming a Husband and a Dad.
Choosing Lauren for this journey
makes my heart feel glad.
I wish you years of happiness,
health, love, and success in all ways.
Just know I'm always here for you
until the end of my days.
