You squealed with joy, O' darling child,... on that autumn day, white-washed with clouds Your gleeful laughter could be heard As we traveled through the rolling hills where farms were scattered, red and brown Your captured eyes, through the windshield glass found wheat turned gold, beneath blue skies And pastures green, where goats that pranced had caught your glance, with keen surprise You were entranced, and ......O', so beautiful. Eyes wide with glee, you begged to stop The sun broke through the the misty air With joy and haste, your eager face pressed tight against the window's glass As we pulled off near the meadow grass We slowed our pace....your smiling face....was O'...so beautiful Quickly out, you scrambled fast To climb up through the muddy patch Such chubby legs, you quickly raced It almost seemed, a playful dream A sunny day....your rosy face This time and place was, O'......so beautiful I remember how the moment passed You plucked the stems of tallest grass We followed soon, to lift you high With chubby hands, right through the wire White eager faces, their eyes so bright Your own of blue, they brimmed delight So very, very beautiful...... My eyes would sting, with tears unshed My heart could burst with words unsaid So all I do, is stand and smile Such beauty on a country mile One autumn day, to cherish while... I hold such love my darling child O' darling child, ...........you are...................so beautiful
