A FLOWER IN THE GARDEN

A FLOWER IN THE GARDEN

Little girl with eyes so blue,

And hair of honey gold,

You are a flower in the garden ~

The sweetest we could hold.

You are nearly two years old

And off on your journey now,

Exploring and adventuring

And we can see you grow.

You have brought joy to many hearts

And blessed our lives with love,

A very special little girl,

Sent from Heaven above.

You are your Mummy’s special joy

And you’re Daddy’s little girl,

You have captured Grandpa’s heart

And have him in a whirl.

You are a flower in our garden,

And often bring a smile,

You make our burdens lighter

As we travel every mile.

We watch you grow and wonder

What life holds for you,

We wish you special blessings

In everything you do.

We wish you a peaceful voyage

On a calm untroubled tide

We wish you exciting adventures

And joys you cannot hide.

We wish you a diamond studded sky,

And dewdrops on a rose,

A cool breeze on a summer day

And sand between your toes.

We wish you pools to splash in,

When you walk upon the sand

Shells to collect and crabs to see,

And holding Mummy’s hand

A full moon for you to wonder at

Kittens and Puppies at play,

A happy type of tiredness 

When you reach the end of day.

We wish you shelter from a storm,

An umbrella to keep you dry,

Friends to keep you company

Someone to answer “why”.

We wish you love and laughter

A warm and comfy bed,

A soft and downy pillow

Where you can lay your head.
