My Little Girl

My little girl I will always think of her as my little girl Beautiful big brown eyes, hair all in curl Smiling so brightly as she runs to and fro Costume shimmering splendidly so Dancing and twirling all around As the music plays its beautiful sound Next thing I know she has moved on Cheering the team from dusk till dawn Then all of a sudden she is all grown On she has gone to places unknown Her life no longer just hers you see Our Navy she serves to defend you and me Thanks to our Father I can kneel and pray So she will return to us safely some day Copyright © 2006 Patricia Contreras
