Is it true what they say?
Has no one told my little one
how it all started ~
or how it begun?

No, you say?
With doubt in your eyes ~
No one has shared
how you changed all our lives?

Well, come sit in my lap
and let me explain ~
And then you can play
with your little toy train.

It was two years ago
that Santa and God
put their heads together
and thought it quite odd...

That three such people
as special as we,
your Mama, your Grandma
and little ‘ole me,

had yet to have a miracle
happen to us.
And they thought it so sad,
that they started to fuss.

So they thought hard and long
of what they could do
to fix this enormously huge,
major boo-boo.

"We could give them the sun,
the moon and the stars"
"No", replied God
"then the skies would be sparse."

So they continued to think
and worry a lot
"We need something BIGGER,
the stars it is not"

"A CHILD!" shouted God
"Yes, that’s the trick!"
Santa jumped and agreed.
"They could even call him Nick!"

So the powers that be
at this time of year
had finally decided …
to make you appear.

A miracle and a blessing
in no such disguise,
with your head of dark hair
and the bluest of eyes.

In one single instant
our lives had been changed,
with the birth of our very own
Nicholas James.

They gave us a gift
like no other on earth ~
so priceless and treasured,
full of infinite worth!

You captured our hearts,
our hopes and our fears.
and that love only gets stronger
with each of the years.

So, now you know my precious
sweet one
how it all started
and how it begun.

And if ever you’re sad
or feeling some blue,
you remember me telling
this story to you.

For you are the most special
of people, big or small -
a son, a grandson, a godson,
and so loved by us all!
