Strong and opinionated
She cannot be ignored.
Words have to be spoken.
One mustn't be bored.
A great sense of humor
Of this I must say.
Even when the banter
Is directed my way.
A laugh that's infectious
She's so full of fun
It's hard to be serious
And not come undone.
Sunshine and love
Sweetness and caring
Spirit and laughter
All rolled into one.
Loving, trusting
An innocent, a dove
A beacon of light
Surely grace from above
I love you my daughter,
And on this Christmas day
With all of my heart
I just have to say
That no greater blessing
Will ever outweigh
God's gift of you
One very special day.
