She came into this world
Radiant
Too bright to see
Too wonderful to touch
Too perfect to be mine
She must have more of her Daddy in her
I counted her toes
And kissed every finger
She opened her eyes
And they reflected mine
She widened her smile
And there was mine
She opened her mouth
And her voice was a melody
For all the world to hear
She laughed
And everything shined
A little more golden
Than before
The world
Will be lucky
To know
This little girl

I love it, it's just what I was looking for, a paen to a baby, she sounds like a creature of wonder.

Oh my is she ever precious! You are blessed! She is blessed to have you as well. There is love written here. Yes...for sure...Children make us stop and look longing at the Heavens. A delightful read poet. Thank you for this entry in the contest. Best wishes to you and yours.

This poem just made me want to say aaawh...and took me right back to the time when my daughter was still a little one too. This is a precious piece you've shared with us in this contest - and your little girl is beautiful - and you wrote her beautiful too. Thank you so much for sharing it.

i love this as much for the contest you entered it in as for the piece itself- it is such a perfect
placement to look at your daughter and know that
"she paused squinting at the sky" was the perfect contest for a poem about her-
and she is as lovely as your words about her
best of luck in the contest
