Beautiful Dreamer

BEAUTIFUL DREAMER

I watched you grow from a tiny baby,
Into a beautiful young lady.

The world was yours at two,
Is inquisitive were you.
Always into this or that,
More curious than a cat.

Then your were four
Knocking on Kindergarten’s door.
You were the best little citizen,
Only teasing now and then.

On to six ever changing as you grew,
Delightedly learning things anew.
Your curiosity to abound,
Seeking more of the world around.

Now at eight you’re halfway there,
Too soon picking a prom dress to wear.
Search out the right boy with care,
so he’ll be…
your man that’s always there.

Your quest has just begun,
Stay steadfast in your dreams,
For they will surly come.
Take time, little one…
seek out it all,
enjoying life,
before God’s call.
