Ode To My Daughter

I confided with The Jeweler I want a masterpiece A wonder to the modern world Where joy will never cease He said he’d start with umber A rich, golden shade of brown use it from the very start create a special crown Next, sparkle from His diamonds He used them from within Distributed them quite liberally on Her eyes, her smile, her skin Oh yes she will be special A jewel the world will love treasure made with so much heart They’ll know she’s from above She shall be known as Ceci Because she is to be perfection of a young lady like your sister is to Me He said I know just what I’ll do To make your crown the best I have special method Pulled from the family crest There’s never been anything like her nor will there ever be; I’ve taken the spirit of her aunt Your dear sister as you can see You know she was quite special That’s why I called her home but I wanted you to be blessed so praise Me with a poem a tribute to My creation a gift to all the world although I blessed you with 2 boys I gave you just one girl I did one other special thing To set this child apart I gave her something special A piece of The Jeweler’s heart I have filled her with compassion She will be the downtrodden’s friend She will always be a guiding light Yes this is who I will send Sometimes at night, you will hear her As you lay there in the dark this lil' Gem sing Me praises A gentle meadowlark A champion for all children Inspiring, encouraging all She embarked upon this journey She already heard my call So always, treat her special, let her know I care you see she is My masterpiece A jewel that is quite rare. A tribute on her 17th Birthday
