A Poem from My Daddy

Little Ivy looked up at the face

of the one who brought her to earth
the one whose love made her
who'd been there from her birth

Little Ivy looked up at the eyes
of the one who always cared for her
who always would be there
who would all their love confer

Little Ivy knew that who she saw
protected her tho' she was small
and that her wonderful mother
would always be there through it all
