Ode To Jamie

I'd never know the joy, they said To hold, and kiss, and nurture. But all too soon we did find out That God had planned my future. That beautiful baby girl I had Came to my life a' crying. She brought so much love to us To her there was no denying. The terrible two's, the trying teens, The years passed by so fast. I knew she'd grow up, and pull away Her dependency wouldn't last. So as I placed her hand in yours, you quietly changed her name. My little girl grew up that day. My life won't be the same. She'll always be my baby. Thank God for blessing me. Although we share her love,you see She saves big hugs for me.
