Teeny Tiny Heart

She had a teeny tiny heart It's like she had no heart at all Impossible to be broken The heart she had was way too small He thought if he could water it Perhaps like a seed it would grow He watered it with his kindness A difference started to show Putting his ear next to her chest He could actually hear it beat It became like sweetest music From head to the soles of her feet It continued getting bigger When he looked close he could see light So he continued to love her From early morning until night She has a really mighty heart The biggest he has ever seen Yes it's true it can be broken He is careful not to be mean The heart is a wonderous thing You never know who it will love Her heart now a thing of beauty Like an Angel's from up above Another man is drawn to her Attraction's a mutual thing It turns into a full blown love In the end it's sealed with a ring The hero of this our story Is the one who gives her away He's so proud to be her father This is such a glorious day

What a sweet and loving story, Rick! I thought you were referring to a lover and was surprised to find out it was your daughter. Loved it! Perhaps when she is older she may read it :)

Absolutely! Big or small, it's how true it is on the inside. This is a very touching piece.
