You were the first little girl
A new arrival in our expanding world
So graceful with a beautiful laugh
Walking on your tiptoes you made me gasp
Your Mom dressed you like a little doll
Everyone who saw you were filled with awe
When I look back over all the years
I think of you, my eyes fill with tears
Your all grown up now with the world at your feet
I still pray to the Lord your soul to keep
I remember you so young, so brand new
And I think of the dreams I wished for you
For love, for joy, for majesty, for dignity
For peace, for protection and our good Lord’s integrity
I thought it was time that you totally knew
Why it was and why I do still love you.
