To Our Precious Daughter Poem by caroline falzon

We celebrate your birthday, as you turn six today,
But we have got the gift, just the perfect gift,
That on this very special day, God gave away,
A gift of love from upabove, so unique and so rare.

God has specially made you to the very tip of your nose,
As precious as a flower, as gorgeous as a rose.
Fulfilled and blessed our lives we have and all because of you,
As sweet as honey, so innocent and pure.

The twinkle of your eyes is brighter than any star,
The smiles you leave behind keep our days bright,
Though our laps you have outgrown,
You will never outgrow our hearts.

We watch and pray as you grow,
In love and in faith, in beauty and in grace,
You bring us joy and pure delight
Just to gaze upon your lovely face.

Our hearts you keep warm and are with you wherever you may go,
And as you go on life's journey, only happiness may you find,
You are the joyful moments of our present,
You are our hope and promise of our future.

'Cause you are our pride, our unconditional love we pledge,
'Cause you are our joy, our undivided bond we cherish,
'Cause you are our sunshine, our embrace is your shield through the rain,
'Cause you are our little girl, our hugs and kisses will tame your pain.

We asked God for a flower and He gave us a bouquet,
We asked God for a minute and He gave us this day,
We prayed to God for true love and He gave us that too,
We prayed to God for an angel and He gave us you.

May God bless you, dear angel
Especially on this day,
That marks your birth,
For all the special ways you bring,
A bit of heaven into our world.

May God Bless You Today, Tomorrow and Always,
In Peace, In Health, In Happiness and In Love

with Love
Mum and Dad
