I wrote this poem for my 9 year old daughter. She is a student at BCLUW. She is a 3rd grader.

Hello, my darling!
My sunshine, my pride!
Come smile for your mother!
come on open wide!
My goodness, my gracious!
Just what can that be?
Is that onelittle tooth?
And another I see?
Soon you'll be talking
and walking you know!
Then reasing and writing.
How fast you will grow!
Before I say "rabbit"
you'll fly from the nest.
I'll shed buckets of tears,
but it will be for the best.
ut just now you're my darling!
My own little pearl!
My own little sweetheart!
My own little girl!
