Anna

Anna. . . . Dedicated to my daughter Anna-Douw by Theresa Rossouw. A lily fair, with hazel eyes and dark hair. You came to me on a night of crackers, fireworks bright. From early time your will, strong, you knew always ríght from wrong! Your smile a tease,cheeky eyes always showing a soul at ease. Water fairy you became at every chance and turn. A child of nature,wind, sun. Always eager to try,to learn. A fighter strong,fierce since your birth, you gave my life meaning. Purposing in my soul to be your champion,you valiant protector of worth. You always shine the brightest by far, a precious gem, my princess,my bornfree star. Years have passed and you grew from a tomboy climbing trees and jumping from roofs and running from bees. . . To an elegant rose, blossomed and bloomed, your stature and heart rare and pure. Every day I'm amazed at how you've matured and become so full of grace. Your beauty a blossom fresh and new,every morning fresh with the love of God your refreshing dew. As the years progress, one day Ill see you in your wedding dress. My heart will ache and break, because you'l be to big to curl up on my lap for comfort's sake. The memories I'll hold dear is of your precious love and the knowledge, you are a precious angel daughter, a princess from heaven above.
