My Only Sunshine

My darling baby girl
With your big blue eyes
And your bright pink lips
And your constant "Well why's?"

Your wondering spirit
And your dancing smile
Inspire us all
to sit and dream for a while

Your joy is contagious
And your laughter is music
You're always so happy
And I'll never get used to it

I just thought I should say
That you're my sunshine
When storms come my way
I remember those bright eyes

You give us all hope
And I don't understand
I just know that I need it
That you help me to stand

I never thought a little girl
Could make me so strong
But your peppy spirit
Has ways of proving me wrong

You're the most cheerful person
I've ever met
Your outlook on life
Well- I think that you're set

You're seven years old
And have it all figured out
I take lessons from you
And learn not to pout

So my dear baby girl
Little sister, June Bug,
Remember to smile
Remember to love

You're going places
That's something I know
Keep your head up
And let your bright colors show.

A/N: 10-31-12 for my sister, Katherine. I love you.
