Today it was just the two of us
a rare and precious gift
I watched her jump and run and laugh
then to my arms for a lift
She lead my hand through the grass
and though only a few feet away
Her frame was fuzzy and out of focus
as wet tears did blur my gaze
How I love this precious girl
she brings me joy inexpressible
her curls, her smile, her life
blessings only far too incredible
a toddler she is, a feisty one
yet all too soon I know
The moon will rise and then the sun
and she will be full grown
but today I'll wrap her in my arms
and press my cheek to hers
never ceasing
to thank my God for this
very precious girl
