Lyla Alexandra

Lyla: 25th August 2008

When you came into this world, undoubtedly in no hurry,

My anxious prayers were answered, no more need to worry,

Daddy was a little shocked, as he was sure you’d be a “he”

Mummy couldn’t believe you weighed a healthy eight pound three!

On that warm winter Monday, sun shining with skies so blue,

I felt blessed to have a granddaughter as beautiful as you.

My “Lyla Alexandra” your life has just begun

A little ray of sunshine and so loved by everyone.

From the first time I held you, cradled in my arms so sweet,

You stole my heart away and have made my life complete.

A perfect little granddaughter, a gift from heaven above,

My eyes just fill with tears and my heart so full of love.

You were only three days old when I was giving you a bath,

I was a little clumsy as your Mummy looked on and laughed.

Though during those precious moments turning to look my way,

You were so intent on listening to all I had to say.

I think of you every minute and although we are miles apart,

Your picture on my computer sure does melt my heart.

With the face of a little angel, so pretty with soft dark hair,

Every night before I close my eyes, I say a little prayer.

We’ll have fun times together, little holidays as such,

I’ll always want to cuddle you and feel your gentle touch.

I want to tell you stories and teach you everything,

Hear your laughs and giggles whilst dancing as we sing.

I have everything I’ve hoped for and will never want for more,

I treasure my beautiful family and forever love you all.

As a Nanna and a granddaughter, our journey has only begun,

My heart is yours forever, God Bless you little one.

Love always
