ONE OF THE LOVLIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE
To my lovely daughter Helena on her birthday

                    

It was a beautiful early morning
In The blooming month of June
A month I remember so well
With odours of life
With fragrance of flowers
And sweet smells of love
For the newborn baby girl

It was a girl - so sweet and so lovely
A girl - so lovely and sweet
Sweet as the sweetest of angels
Lov'ly as a newsprung scarlet rose

I saw the light - from out of heaven
Bearing a message - with her name
The name that would spread - love and light
Love that would follow her - all through her life

This beautiful early morning
In the blooming month of June
A month I remember so well
When life smelled sweet
When blooms were blooming
And sweet smelled my love
For the newborn baby girl

And love still smells sweet
Now and forever
Your name is a torch
Sparkling with light
It lights up the nighttime
As well as the daytime
Your love for everyone
Is forever - as are you!
