Hutton's World

HUTTON'S WORLD

There are kids and there are people

To me, they were all the same

That is, until I met a baby boy

"Hutton Patterson" was his name.

With knitted brow, a slight grin

He looked at this new girl

His arms reached out to take him

Welcoming me to 'Hutton's world'.

He loves to play out in the snow

Or 'read' his favourite books

Skip a page or try to rush

He gives those 'Hutton" looks.

At first I wasn't even sure

That I'd like being there

'Cuz the day I saw that rodent

I sat with feet up in a chair!

I never will forget the time

I went next door to tan

Steven went to bat for me

When they told me I'd been banned!

I accidentily left my chewing gum

On their hot tanning bed

And when Steve played interferrance

"The Cops were called" is all he said.

Three months made such a difference

In Hutton's days and nights

He went from drinking formula

To saying "snake" and "kite"!

We sang songs each night and day

"THE FARMER IN THE DELL"

But I can't say that I will miss

Singing him "JINGLE BELLS"!

Robin once said to me:

"Steve calls this place a dump!"

Well, I guess he liked the mattress

'Cuz now Robin has a 'bump'!

When I finally saw their Play

"WHITE CHRISTMAS" is the name...

I saw such raw, enormous talent

Hut's parents, rich with hard-earned fame.

Now the time has come to part

As they all move far away

I will miss them very much

I'm writing what I can't say:

"Every time I drove downtown

It was to spend my time with you

Thanks for all the fun we had

For all the loving too."

"Others may watch your son

But I'll just ask our God

To bring him a healthy sibling

And maybe, a small dog?"

"So thank you Steve & Robin

From the Nanny, the old girl

For the shine you added to my sun

When I lived in 'Hutton's world'."
