The Blue-eyed Girl

The Blue-eyed Girl

Curly locks and dimpled cheek
Happy, playful, quiet and meek
Sun glistens in her light brown hair
She lives each day without a care

The new day holds a brand new thrill
Of flying kites or sledding hills
Dressing dolls and serving tea
Riding bikes or climbing trees

Building igloos and a big snowman
Or making castles in the sand
She gazes up on starry nights
As her youth is in its flight

Thoughts of God in clear blue skies
Or watching puffy clouds go by
She loves her school and recess time
Lollipops and Valentines

Each night she dreams upon her bed
Of new adventures just ahead
Carefree heart so tender still
Each day she tarries where she will

Oh, little girl with eyes of blue
Where will her path of life lead to?
Her youthful days will soon be past
May her happiness a lifetime last
