Emily's Poem

Happy Birthday Emily Boucher

You Were Ours When We Believed

One in a half years
Before you came to this world
We knew the name
Of our little girl

We knew you were coming
We told the doctor
The day Tim was born
18 months later
Everyone knew our words
They were not wrong

You Were Ours When We Believed

You have been a joy
When acting like Lucy Ball
Or getting clarinet reeds
At that Warwick strip mall

You Were Ours When We Believed

I will never forget
The sit up day
300 sit ups, Wow
All you said was
Daddy I am board
Can I stop now

Push up challenge for
Suicidal vets
Helping Best Buddies
Best President Yet

You Were Ours When We Believed

Motorcycle trip to Mount Washington
Turned into a trip to Mount Ascutney
Neither of us cared
The time we were not watching

The helmet you wore
Two sizes too big
After that trip
We had to get
New motorcycle digs

You Were Ours When We Believed

It is the 16th anniversary
Of you being you
Your Memee said you
Will see the world
Before you are thru

Someday Me and Mom
Will meet you in heaven
We will talk to God
And hear the story
How you became ours
On the day that we believed
