My Little Daughter

I have a little daughter
she can be very sweet
and being with her is great fun
and such a pleasant treat.

But then there are the other times
when Laura Elizabeth Gass
no matter how cute and smart she is
can prove she's a pain in the a**!



Note:  I wrote this when my daughter was
about 3 yrs. old.  She is in college now
but she will always be my baby.
I love you Laura.

Lol! How true! Mine are still like that, despite the fact that they're almost grown. I guess that just like they're always our babies, they can also always be either of the personalities you described above. Such a cute poem! ~Juliane
