My Precious Little Bean

 

My precious little bean

A flower in her hair

Eyes closed tight I dream

A future bright and fair

Her star shines bright

Intelligent and kind

Her beauty is a sight

But pales to her mind

At first I held her close

Her blue eyes beamed

Joy from head to toes

Pure love it seamed.

As she grew I did too

Step by anxious step

As parents often do

Following in footstep.

 

Momma's little girl

Daddy's little darling

Gandma's little pearl

Papa's always guarding

 

Tough she proved to be

Challenges in time

Where no match you see

To her focused climb.

 

A smile lights the world

And the quickest of wit

Confidence to be bold

And the grace to just sit.

 

A heart of fine lace

To share God's kindness

A sweet loving face

Best not gaffed as weakness.

 

A life all her own

We watch with esteem

Into dreams unknown

There goes our little Bean

 

My precious little bean

A flower in her hair

Eyes closed tight I dream

A future bright and fair
