(For Alice on her first birthday)
You are my
darling, my daisy, my dumpling
You are my sweet little strawberry delight
I wished for you on the first star at twilight
You brought the dawn to my dark, lonely night.
You are my sweet little strawberry delight
I wished for you on the first star at twilight
You brought the dawn to my dark, lonely night.
You are my treat,
my treacle, my treasure
Look at those eyes, so sparkling, so blue
You share a smile and all hearts start a-melting
You radiate sunshine, whatever you do.

You radiate sunshine, whatever you do.
You are my
beautiful, bright little blondie –
My constant companion, my smallest dear friend
You’ll still be my baby as days turn to decades
Your mother’s love for you, it never will end.

My kissable,
kittenish, cute, clever cookie
How can I describe your many sweet ways?
You’ve been funny and fearless, silly and sunny
On all of your three hundred sixty five days.

On all of your three hundred sixty five days.
Your first orbit
has ended, it is time for another
So pick up those little feet – ready? Let’s go!
Your second year’s starting, let’s not waste a minute
May you love, may you learn, may you laugh, may you grow.
