Zahra

I look upon her purely angelic face
And recount her recent devilish ways
Only four yet a handful already!
Her words make me smile
Her frown draws a laugh
The more I laugh the larger she frowns
How could I laugh at her impish moans
How lucky am I to behold this charade
Of my  four year old and her parade!

This is excellent. I like the way you bring her beauty to the forefront. I can see the angelic shining in her based on your descriptive language. You're blessed to have such an angel on your side. Love her dearly with nurturing care. Great job! ~Joseph

Oh so precious! I remember my daughter at her age, a total delight. Enjoy every minute for time is fleeting and before you know it...A beautiful tribute to our most treasured gifts, our children. Love, Shar
