My Baby Princess

For my niece Anika

by

Esther Smith

My little butterfly eyes

And rosebud mouth

Lovingly cooing and grinning

Your little feet

Kick to their hearts content

I lift you up on my shoulder

My Precious Dear

I sweetly give you loves

A sweet smell fills the room

Your little head nestles by my neck

As You drift away

Sighing

and Sweetly sucking your little lips

My little dolly appears

I snuggle into my sweet lovey dovey

My soft little precious princess

I hold you close

I hear you breathing

Your little breaths

As they gently touch my neck

As I kiss your soft little head

My nose nestles in your hair

I take in a breath

Your sweet smell enters my world

I imagine....

Little Princess in your white

Short puffy sleeved dress

I see you holding a long

Stemmed tropical flower

Your precious little head

With your hair combed to

The right side

And your blue colorful eyes

Shining like glass

Glistening

Welcoming

Little turquoise butterflies

To surround you in the beautiful green

Forest

You dance and chase them

My little precious lovey

My delight

I love your precious heart

My priceless beauty

You are my treasure from God
