Melba
To my second girl, and third child,
May-be at times headstrong & wild,
Had to be restrained from running to free,
But, she is still very special to me.
She has been the subject of many prayers
And, I know she has come to understand,
That God holds the future in his hand,
I pray the best for her , and each little one,
From what I've said, You may have guessed,
That, for her, I want the very best.
Love Dad
