DAUGHTER O' MINE by DAISY DEAN BUTLER

First Line: YOU CAME TO ME, DEAR, SO WELCOME, SO FAIR
Last Line: BLEST LITTLE DAUGHTER O' MINE.
Subject(s): BABIES; BLESSINGS; DAUGHTERS; HAPPINESS; INFANTS; JOY; DELIGHT;
You came to me, dear, so welcome, so fair;
You brought with you joy, too great to compare;
A God-given trust to my clumsy care—
Dear little daughter o' mine.

Your dear, baby smile, bewitchingly sweet;
Your lips like a rose-bud, your tiny pink feet;
Your hands reaching out, the whole world to greet—
Sweet little daughter o' mine.

You've been to me, dear, a dream that came true;
My world has revolved around about you;
Each day you have seemed, a treasure quite new
Blest little daughter o' mine.
