A Gift From God

She came in the middle of the night
an angel sent by God
From the moment that I saw her she touched my heart

A gift sent from heaven just for me
The most beautiful thing that I'll ever see

She is my child and I love her so
And I thank God for everyday that I watch her grow

When she said her first words
all the glory I heard

When she took her first steps
until there were no more left

I never thought she would run
once her walking was done

My baby girl is growing each day
and the day will come when she will go away

And I will cry and remember that night, when all is done
The night that, my baby girl, Jade was born

A dedication to you
