It seems a lifetime of years ago,
a precious child was born,
full of hope and promise
like the sunrise every morn.
In the years from that day since,
she’s faced many a circumstance.
some would bring her loving joy,
others painful hurt;
but in the sunrises now ahead,
one thing we can assert . . .
This precious much loved child,
now a woman full grown,
has a future as full of hope and promise
as on the day that she was born.
