My Little Girl
by Tony Whitaker
She smiled when she was born
a sheepish grin she has today
delivered in the morn
and she was blowing bubbles
as I stared
stunned in dismay
Such a happy and healthy baby
slept all night from the start
for a while I wondered maybe
did they switch babys chart
But she looks so much like me
with her walk and with her smile
she is the most precious thing, you see
she is my darling little child
Now she has grown and great looking
works so hard every day
to come home to her pets
but I worry about her cooking
as she hasnt asked me over yet
She is my little girl
Katrina is her name
I shall always love her
And proud of who she became

Author's Note: This one I wrote as I reflected back on the life of my darling little girl, Katrina. She is now 26, and though she dropped out of high school as an A student (long story), she went back and got her degree and has a great career in banking. I am very proud of her and her independence.
