For Maggie

I remember the day you were born I exclaimed Oh God not another one As you grew older it was plain to see The lovely woman you’d turn out to be Maggie my dear, we shared a room through the years I combed your hair, wiped away your tears Tried to keep you happy, and calm your fears My dreams for you were always many Hoping you’d marry a man with plenty a penny And here you are all settled and grown, With a family you can call your own A beautiful woman so deep so sincere With so much love for her family it is quite clear So my dear sweet sister, I proclaim with no fear That I will love you forever year after year.
