A Surprise

It was a surprise
 could I call it a prize
 received from my little one
 she being the one
 the first girl in my family
 so charming in reality
 poise and grace being her virtues
 could never get any clue
 a remarkable girl of nine years
her gesture moved me to tears
a poem she mailed  to me
 that being dedicated to me
 one that spoke of me alone
 called me her favourite  in tone
 instead of addressing her so
 she referred me with a show
 being one of love and love
 she being my beloved
I read and re read her poem many times

 as it keeps me joyful every other time.
