For my niece

Thank you sweet girl
You don't know what you did for me, but it was rather huge
I had a hurt in my heart
And I saw you
You looked up and me
And smiled
And my heart melted
My hurt left

You are a miracle
And you do wonders for my soul
My face lights up at the sight of you

Such innocence
Such delight
Such purity
In one tiny person

You don't know what you did
But I thank you
I thank God for bringing you to us
Our miracle child

I didn't know I could love someone so much
That I barely even know

Thanks for smiling at me
And making me laugh
Making me forget
And reminding me to be grateful

Thank you God, for this baby girl
For the miracle that she is
And for the delight that she is
