------Heaven's Gift------
A pretty smile, a glorious face, an attitude of gold I thank the Lord for sending down an angel to behold A star to light the darkest night with a happy cheerful voice Whistling stormy clouds away to make all hearts rejoice She can catch a ball, chase a rabbit or tempt a fish with bait But really loves to ride a horse, read books and stay up late She dances softly in my mind to make each day a pleasure And I accept without reserve, none could replace this treasure A happy child with carefree ways I'm sure when she was born, her spirit's blessed from day to day by the ancient unicorn Perhaps her life as years go by be filled with joy untold and she will keep close in her heart her gift from days of old If I might chance to write a song the verse would come with ease her spirit, the words, her laugh, the tune and sung by a playful breeze So again I say that I was blessed she makes my life sublime I'll love and hold her in my heart until the end of time.
