Lauren,
Your Dad loves you so much.
This I found touching,
The same way Manjeri did.
Lauren little angel
May you desire God’s word
And be caring and robust
Just like a laurel tree
Mom’ll understand you
She’ll teach you how to cook
And will give you the first tips on boys.
But your Dad will set the norm for him –
The man you will tie the knot with.
I know little angel
That you’ll read Manjeri and you’ll enjoy it very much.
I know Lauren little angel
You’ll love Babyliss.
Lauren,
Your Dad loves you without end,
You have brought him such joy.
For you are his first,
Lauren little angel.
Sometimes Mom will scold you,
But she loves you dearly,
You’re her pride and joy.
And when you’ve grown,
You will know Mom was right
And you will be a fine ma’am just like her.
Her codes will sound in your mind,
Each time you have a snag.
Your Dad will fuss over you and really spoil you,
He’ll provide you with all you will need.
He’s the closest living,
Live print of Christ
That you will know.
Make good use of that.
