Baby Girl

Baby girl, don’t grow up too fast

This world is full of people who beckon for that

Baby girl, take your time

Enjoy your innocence

Rest in it

Baby girl, don’t grow up too fast

This world is harsh, uncaring, cold

Baby girl, take your time

Dance, dream, play, sing, imagine, daydream, laugh, be carefree

Baby girl, you’re growing up

Remember to enjoy today

Embrace your innocence

Celebrate your youth.

Learn all you can about today

So that tomorrow

When you have grown up

You can look back and be confident in who you have become

Baby girl, I celebrate who you are

And who you’re becoming

You’re beautiful, smart, strong, courageous

As you ready to step into this cold, dark world

May you be a beacon of light that draws those around you to the One who

has brought light to this world
