In the cradle of dawn, where whispers replay, Grady dances in light on his first birthday. With eyes like the wonder of new morning skies, He reaches for stars with unclouded surprise. A year in a heartbeat, a lifetime begun, Each step on a journey, a story unsung. With chubby-cheeked laughter, the world is a toy, Grady, our marvel, forever our joy. Let him wander and dream with skies wide and vast, In each breath of tomorrow, echoes of the past. One year, the chapter, yet many untold— In Grady's bright smile, life's tales unfold.
