Precious in your little frame, You danced into my heart.
And with the grace with which you came, With grace you did depart.
You held my finger in your hand, And with it held my soul.
I fell in love with those wide eyes, One kiss and I was whole.
You caught me by surprise The way your only need was me.
And I learned I need you too, But I had to set you free.
Your monkey feet have left Such an imprint in my life.
And sometimes I still hear you, Crying for me in the night.
You're in heaven on your birthday And I can see you way up there,
With the cutest party dress on And a bow, tied in your hair.
