Poem for Piper....

Tater...
she was a Tater
for a little while
then she came into the world
and made her family smile

even before she
had donned her first diaper
she received a new name
her parents called her Piper

as she grows up
in faith, hope and love
she'll be known forever
as a gift from God above

there will come a day when sooner or later
you will tell this precious girl
how she was once called Tater

by Joe A. Jones


I can not even express the emotion i felt when this poem was read to me! Just the idea that someone put such thought into these sweet words about my little girl just overwhelms me!! My father-in-law teaches a Sunday school class (ok to be honest his class is larger then some small churches!) at our church and a bible study on Tuesday morning that this man, the author, Joe Jones is in. My father-in-law called Piper...tater...almost from day one that we were expecting...so thats where that comes from :) by the way...Joe is publishing a book of poems soon!!!
