Logan and Chloe,  come gather round,
I’ve got something to show you, look what I found:
A book starring the two greatest champions I know,
Yes, it’s you – you’re the stars of the show!

This book is filled with adventures and fun,
You’ll imagine great things before we are done.
But while reading is one thing, and a great thing too,
Life is about living, it’s about the things you will do.

It’s about getting excited to try new things,
It’s about going on adventures and seeing what life brings.
And while I know that when you leave I’ll be sad,
Seeing you both take on the world will make me so glad.

I’ll stand on the rooftops, shouting out loud,
Telling the world that I am so proud.
Proud you are my children, and so proud of the way
You give each other strength, every single day.

This morning, I was happily sleeping away,
Not knowing, Logan and Chloe,
you had started your day.
With happy smiles and big, wide eyes,
You were creating a big surprise.

You thought the walls looked pretty boring,
So you started drawing while I was still snoring!
Flowers and portraits and butterflies and more,
You even managed to draw on the floor!

As I get out of bed with a stretch and a sigh,
“DAD’S AWAKE!” I hear you both cry.
You draw even faster, racing the clock,
You draw on the walls, your pants and your sock!

The finishing touches are frantically applied,
As I yawn with my mouth open wide.
I walk into the room … I rub my eyes,
And you two proudly yell,
“SURPRISE!”

I look at our walls and I look at our floor,
You’re both so creative  and talented
and awesome and more!
It looks SO amazing I’m not even mad,
But perhaps next time
You can use a sketch pad!
