She started out so very small, now look at my girl,
she’s getting so tall.
I remember the cute way she held onto her ear,
now look at her helping me, what a sweet little dear!
I used to pray, “Oh, Yahweh, please let her sleep through just one night,” now I can’t wake her up no matter how bright the light.
I remember taking lots of pictures of all her cute little faces, now it’s trips to the orthodontist to re-adjust those braces.
The day we brought her home was one of the best days of my life, but I know it won’t be long until someday she’s someone’s beautiful wife.
Everyone tells me to enjoy her while she’s still home
because before too long, she’ll be off and on her own.
When that day comes and it’s her turn to take flight, I’ll send her off knowing that with Yahweh she’ll know what’s wrong and what’s right.
But for now, I’m holding onto my little girl real tight. She’s a gift from Yahweh that I love with all my might!
