LEAH  AT 11

I KNOW A GIRL

With the cutest little freckle in the middle of her nose.

Who can melt the hearts of parents when she strikes a winsome pose.

Who will know a dozen fellows and with each one have great fun.

Who will break the hearts of many when she chooses only one.

 

I KNOW A GIRL

With the talents of her father and good looks of her mother.

Who can be a dressed up lady or wrestle with her brother.

Who can get straight A’s in school.  That she never got from me.

But piano is her forte which she plays so gracefully.

 

I KNOW A GIRL

Who is always in transition, like a child, yet lady like.

But she’s still only eleven, so you boys just take a hike.

Who when she’s ready for romance her dad will let them know.

Who is growing much too quickly yet there’s still much more to go.

 

I KNOW A GIRL

So polite and nearly perfect yet she knows how to have fun.

With such charming ways and manners that she’s liked by everyone.

With guidance from her parents and surrender to the Lord,

She will bless the hearts of many as her talents are outpoured.
