I was asked to write a letter about my daughter to be presented to her class. After receiving star student status, this is the norm in her school. So I, of course, took it and ran. 🙂
There is a girl, who in all the land
Or, living at the beach, should I say…sand
Can make me smile, love, and laugh without end
Who never meets a stranger, always a new friend
This girl, six years ago, I chose to be mine one tearful morning in May
Little did I know, she would own my heart for forever and a day
As she has grown, so have her loving heart and the curls upon her head
With which, she will someday rule a lucky boy’s heart, this day I dread
The most independent, free spirit I know
From her, I’ve learned we know not where life will go
The best things in life come, she has taught me so
When we open our hearts…and just let go
Her creativity, an unstoppable force, a limitless sky
She draws, builds, and invents…all in her mind’s eye
Her light-hearted humor, no one can match
Her contagious spirit, her laugh…we chase in hopes to catch
This girl, into my heart, she came
Each day an adventure, no two the same
Those curls, that smile, her infectious humor…bring her instant fame
To those who know her, the owner of my heart, Kya Anna Hughes is her name.
