Emma

Golden hair and eyes of blue
A spirited smile and big cheeks too
You tell me that you love me
More than all the candy in the world
I know that is a lot of love
Coming from a little girl

If I could show you too
How much you mean to me
You would find a love greater
Than the deepest sea
There are not enough stars
To count within the sky
Or a mountain tall enough
To compare would be a lie

The first time I saw your face
My idea of love erased
You changed me in a moment
I would never be the same
Faster than a bullet
My life was rearranged

Since that point in time
Through laughter and through tears
I have watched you grow
More beautiful every year

I have a little secret
I bet you did not know
It was you and only you
That helped me fully grow

Now instead of making foolish plans
I am holding your tiny hands
Wishing I could freeze in time
Thanking God he made you mine

You gave my life a reason
You painted colors on my soul
I love you my dear child
Thank you for making me whole.
