for my daughter

This is the special lullaby for the greatest gift God has given me...
I found it on Olivia Newton John's album for babies and I sing this to her every night. How blessed I am to have this glorious gift in my life. (The little denim dress and red shirt is from Grama Ginger and the little red shoes - Dorothy from the WIzard of Oz type - are from her great Aunty Shirley.) Kami is exactly 3 months old in this photo taken in Coeur d'Alene when we visited Aunty Cindy. What a funny little face! You know - my wee Kami NEVER cried. She always laughed and giggled. How did I get so lucky? The happiest baby ever.


Mary Kamisha, four days old
How do you like the world so far
Mary Kamisha, four days old
What a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky girl you are

For you have swings to be swung on
Trees to be climbed up
Days to be young on
Toys you can wind up
Grass to be lying on
Sun up above
Pillows for crying on
When you're in love
Ponies for riding on
Wind in your hair
 

Slides to be sliding on
Leaves in the air
Dolls to be caring for
Love to be giving
Dreams to be daring for
Long as you're living
Yes, you have dreams to be daring for
Long as you're living

Mary Kamisha, four days old
What a lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky girl you are
