Madison

I've only known you a short time
the news of your birth filled my heart
 with joy and love
a baby is a gift 
from heaven above
two hearts, a new soul,
a feeling only parents know
your mom she is a sister to me
we are a family

every night, sleep tight
every day, you will play
every meal, get your fill

Sleepless nights and endless lights
dirty diapers, bottles, and binkys too
Madison, I love you
come stay with me, let your mom have some peace,
you are my baby niece

We all have problems, and stuggles too
I will be here to help you through
I will teach you and watch you grow
and tell you things you need to know

Action figures, teddy bears, and Barbie dolls
little girls and shopping malls
as this chapter of your life ends, 
now the Fairy Tale begins

Cinderella's glass slipper
and her Prince Charming,
Sleeping Beauty  is awaken 
by a kiss,
Princess Fionia takes loves true form,
Jasmine and Aladdin,
Arial and Prince Eric,
just to name a few 
my favorite Princess is you

I want you to know 
I'll help you grow
I'll be your friend, not a foe
watch out for paths you don't know
where trouble learks, Don't go
Have mom call me night or day 
I don't want you to go astray
