Born in the best of all possible worlds:
Amelia Dearheart, the dearest of girls!
There are so many reasons to think this is true:
But Amelia, the reasons all come down to YOU.
For YOU are the first-born to Katryna Nields
And to Dave Chalfant, both of them outstanding in their fields.
For YOU have the best mom the world's ever known:
As Mom among moms, Katryna stands alone.
For YOU have the best dad there ever could be:
A prince among Daves and among Dads, yessirree.
Why, they'll love you and clothe you and feed you and hug you
And watch you and walk you and change you and love you.
They'll keep you from harm and they'll love you Forever:
Come rain or come shine, and come stormy weather.
You're ever so blest to have the BEST mum and dad:
The BEST Easy People folks any girl could've ever had.
The love you bring them makes it all so worthwhile,
Come pain or come laughter, come tears or come smiles.
And you'll bring so much joy to the others who'll love you:
To family on earth and to angels above you,
To Nerissa and David and Abigail too,
To the whole Chalfant tribe and the entire Nields crew.
You'll grow up surrounded by family and friends,
Amongst Chalfants and Nields, where the love never ends.
And you'll thrill them and chill them, make them laugh, make them cry,
And you'll brighten their world, and you'll Meet Them In the Sky.
Amelia Dearheart, so lovely and so fair,
Going chasing the clouds and spinning cartwheels in the air ---
You'll wheel and you'll glide and you'll loft and you'll soar ---
Boldly going where no Nields or Chalfant has gone before ---
Like Dicky Chappelle you'll the Tailspin DEFY ---
Spinning memories and dreams where All My Pretty Horses do fly ---
And you'll fly and you'll soar where All Souls fly free ---
Like that free spirit Georgia O: Amelia,
I Wanna Be a Free Bird Like THEE ---
Born in the best of all possible worlds:
Amelia Dearheart, the dearest of girls!
