Precious
A new addition to the family
Not by birth, not by adoption
A girl known since birth to us
The only daughter of our neighbour
Father never known, only heard
Mother, busy, a job she holds at sea
Recently, lost grandma to diabetes,
Aunts two, busy with families of their own
Blessings doubled, one daughter, now two!
Laughter rippling, joy and happiness diffusing
We call her precious, a life so dear
Not too hard to share, for a mother who cares.
