Baby Mary Ann

There she lays;
A small halo over her head;
Her tiny hands clasped
Like in silent prayer
To pray for daddy and mummy.
She opens her unseeing timid eyes
 To look into daddy’s staring eyes.
The soft pounding in her chest
Let’s daddy know that she’s scared;
Scared of new things around her.
But she needn’t be afraid
Because daddy is here
Right by her side!
She lights up her angelic face
With a fragile smile.
A smile that warms daddy’s big heart
And let’s daddy know
That she’s daddy’s little Princess!

Thank you very much JAN ALLISON. Sorry about the love you didn't get to experience as a child. You must have envied your sister!
