I see Her smiling
Through your twinkling eyes
As you bend down to kiss my neck ...
Then, out of patience wrought
Out of happiness sought
She's in my arms;
A featherweight bundle of Joy !
I am proud
To show you off
In those dark curls
And dimpled smile.
Her innocent prattle
Such lively matter !
Has helped me through
Many a bitter battle
As I read your gentle word
In her contented sleep.
She's my guardian angel
Cast in your image
And mine.
