A Blessing To My Parents

Hold me in your gentle arms
Sing me a lullaby
Make me feel like it's Ok, to reach up to the sky

Encourage me to do my best
Though awkward as I seem
Perhaps the vision that you have, will also be my dream

Give me the freedom to decide
And test what I've been taught
And you'll see the time you've spent, hasn't been for naught

Let me go, in wedlock 
To see the man you've made
And I will give you children, to love in your old age

I don't know, cute can be pretty darn good. I have known some cute women that I preferred over Beautiful.
