'A SNOWMAN'
(written for my daughter when she was younger)

"Make me a snowman", you said "Make it for me",
"Make it big and fat, for everyone to see"

"Make it with a carrot, fixed for it's nose",
"And make it eat, a big, red rose"

"And for it's buttons; stones, one, two, three",
"Make me a Snowman, make it for me".

'A Birth'

"One more push please my dear,
the baby's head is nearly here"

"One more push and you'll be through,
You know God is helping you"

"One more push, and you'll bear new life
You'll soon forget this trouble and strife"

"There, there my dear, it's a girl
Look at that hair, look at that curl"

Listen to that sweet little cry,
Well done my dear, well done, my, my"

"Would you like to hold her my dear?
For bonding, hold her close, hold her near"

"And now God's gift is truly won,
God bless you baby, little one "

'My Daughter'

My dear little daughter
You are so sweet
You sit and watch television
Upon your seat

My dear little daughter
With Your gappy grin
Waiting for new teeth
To fill the spaces in

My dear little daughter
With your fair hair
You wonder when
Mummy will be there

My dear little daughter
You're five years old
When doing something wrong
You wont be told (not to)

'For my daughter with Love'

Your little arms God carefully made
And through your spirit, God displayed
His perfect wonders of the earth
Through your innocence, he showed his worth
And through your happy laughter outside
God showed his love, and grace, in kind
And when he made your beautiful eyes
He made a screen that sees no lies
And when he made your little ears
He also made healing tears
That you may use to heal your pain
So in your heart, heartache wont remain
And on your head a golden crown
God's in your soul, he wont let you down
My dear child, may you be blessed
And be stronger than all the rest
Just know God is always with you
And when you hurt, he hurts too
Just know when you're alone and sad , he's beside
And he'll heal you when you cry

K - written for my daughter 1993

'Little Baby'

My little baby, You sleep and rest
This is the time, I like you best

My little baby, With your eyes closed
You lay and breathe, through your nose

My little baby, you start to move
I rub your back, and try to soothe

My little baby, in your cot,
I am so lucky, am I not?

K - written when I was thinking how I used to spend hours looking at my daughter when she was in her cot.
