You came into our world
Boy, so precious, perfect
Little Nicolas, miracle
I knew that very moment
The very day that you were born
This was love in new dimension
Like I’d never known before
Smart and sweet you’ve grown to be
Cute, curious, rambunctious
Finding puddles great to splash in
And bugs are good to scare us
Funny little nephew
Never know what you will do
A surprise the day you told us
We were old and you were new
Your precious little world of home
Mom and dad and neighbor friends
Soccer games and bicycle rides
Sister Abi, Brother Ben
Explorer, athlete, pirate king
We often wonder what you’ll be
A fireman like daddy
Or a writer just like me
Friends and fellow pirate kings
Wonders just like you
I wonder how many of them were lost
Inside their mother’s womb
What a loss of God’s creation
Defying any explanation
What a joy those mothers missed
A blessing like our Nicolas
Just five short years ago
More loved with every year
Little nephew Nicolas
I’m so glad you’re here
