The Girlchild

Joy of heart  and face 
such innate natural grace 

thinking of others before her needs 
This girl child carries wonderful seeds 

These seeds that grow from small kind acts 
Will grow in to mighty things 

For one small act should travel the world 
This girl's spirit has unfurled 

Such things are not all learnt but come from within, 
From the heart 

Kind heart,gentle heart 

This girl child has wisdom beyond her years 
This girl child will not be a giver of tears 

This girl child is a giver of love 
A gift from above 

This girlchild of great inner beauty, 
Is an exquisite wondrous jewel 

To have such a child to nurture 
Is a joy 

I delight in her thoughtfulness 
For its hard to measure 
Such a girl greater than any treasure 

And the name of this girl child?
