FOR MANNAT

(Who just turned 3!)

You're the 'MANNA' from heaven,
Our precious gift from God, to cherish for all eternity.
The almond eyes, those drooly lips, few precious drops, those love-filled gifts,
Your hold on our hearts, our dreams in your tiny fists!

Our love went out and found you, you came to us with love,
You found our arms wide open, while our hearts soared high above.
My lap is overflowing now, so is my heart and eye,
That you are mine, and I am yours, no destiny can deny.

You shine a beacon on this path, a path so precious and rare,
We've hitched our wagon to this dream, now we feel no fear.
Everything we have is forever yours, and we belong to you,
The arms are strong, the promise is deep, our love everlasting and true.

Your smile quietens the stormy seas, your hands cradle the shore,
Your peace now dwells within us, our souls know now to soar.
Your calm eyes show a promise of strength, your hands reach for the future,
Your wisdom of the ages past, your body is just newer.

So with a smile in your heart and a lilt in your step, you'll go through this journey full of wonder,
The magical carpet will carry you onwards, and you'll grow to be braver and stronger.
The world will cherish your intelligence and strength, and you'll be a beautiful treasure,
The whole world will be at your feet, and your blessings will be beyond measure.

Create your own paths, while following the old,
Always do what is right, and not just what is told,
Be an example, be an inspiration, someone to look up to,
For MANNAT you are, our 'boon' from God, and we'll always be proud of you.
