There's a story behind this poem, as there is with most of my poems.
There's a song called Alison Road by Gin Blossom.
My 26 year old cousin Michael and his lady had a daughter 2 days before my birthday. When I heard what my baby cousin's name will be, Alison Road popped into my head because it's so close, it flows off my tongue the same way and I felt there was a poem to be written.
I showed Michael the poem today and here is what he texted me back...
M: Just cried thank you I love it I'm showing Amanda now
M: She loves it we are going to frame it

Jonathan
I was looking forward to holding my new baby cousin while it snows
Maddison Rose
February 26 was the date she chose
Maddison Rose
I was elated, I was excited to hear about
Maddison Rose
I love the name which you are bestowed
Maddison Rose
I hold her gently, I hold her close
Maddison Rose
She’s so small, she’s so petite
Maddison Rose
Her hair is soft, her hair flows
Maddison Rose
Long fingers, long toes
Maddison Rose
A cute smile, a MacMullin nose
Maddison rose
She’s wearing a pretty pink dress that flows
Maddison Rose
She’s so precious, she glows
Maddison Rose
I sing a Disney song to you and you don’t oppose
Maddison Rose
Are you laughing? are you smiling? Who knows
Maddison Rose
I rock you to and fro
Maddison Rose
Someday you will have dreams and Goals
Maddison Rose
Maybe you’ll be a teacher or a nurse, maybe a dancer, doing Broadway shows
Maddison Rose
I know you don’t understand my words or how it all goes
Just know, I love you Maddison Rose
