Cedar City here I come to see a grandson born~
Jacob Austin Lindsey came in night and not the morn.
His dad and mom were quite surprised when finally they did see
A great big baby, barrel chest, the family now is three.
They soon took off for Big Sky place and football ruled the day
His dad was graduated, Mom was glad and Jacob liked to play!
To Woods Cross as a toddler now and sister joins the group
Jake loves to ride his bike outside and likes his mini-hoop.
His kicking skills are quite aware as Soccer comes to be
He blocks and runs and punts with head, it’s quite a sight to see
Whenever goals are made by Jake, the sidelines holler some
Then Jacob looks and grins at us and brings up that great thumb!!
School days are spent, things are learned and knees are skinned you bet
He wears out shoes and jeans are ripped, Jake’s not one to be set
His energy knows no bounds, more sisters join the ranks
His honesty and great big heart are formed, his mother thanks
He shares some special times with mom and Harry Potter reads
He weeds the garden, helping dad to pick up all the leaves
Cub Scouts, Lake Powel and cousins too, He’ll play until he drops
He likes McDonald’s, Burger King and eats until he pops!
With Grandma and his cousin Mace he bowls a 109
His laughter can be heard above the bowling alley whine!
With Uncle Kel, he’s helped to move and see a flick or two
With Uncle Troy and Mason there the golf course they did rule.
His Grandpa Bill and Dad go now to hunt with him for deer
When Dad comes home with meat for mom, I think I see a tear!
He leads his sisters four each year into the Christmas room-
Where dad and mom are camera buffs and onto him they zoom-
He plays in sports but football is his favorite of the bunch,
He throws and tackles, catches too but really loves the punch!!
Today Jake’s twelve and he will get the priesthood power rare,
Your grandma loves your honest heart, your smile and that you care.
A flashback when I first held you, I’d love to stare and sit
Happy Birthday grandson, what a day!! Enjoy it every bit~
