To My Grandson Ayden

Welcome home, little one!
L'shanah tovah!
How fitting you should arrive on 
     Erev Rosh Hashanah,
     Signaling a day of new beginnings,
And a lifetime of wonder 
     for your proud and loving parents.
You are the best parts of them both  
Woven into a brand-new being,
Made in God’s image, 
     And created to be 
          your own special person. 
What joy you bring into everyone’s lives! 
What love you have to share! 
Thank you for coming into our family,
     little one!
