Poetry by Cathrine Hottran

My Daughter

You are like an angel,
Sent from up above,
You are my little miracle,
And I will treasure you with love.

Somehow you manage
In your own and special way
To bring out the sunshine
On a cold and rainy day.

You really mean the world to me,
You are my everything,
Thank you, my little one,
For all the joy you bring.
