My very precious girl...



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
