Original Poem: Why I Love You

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.
