For Ysabelle

You seem so small,
And the world is so vast.
But its yours to hold,
Its mysteries unfold,
For you to grip it fast.

This world is filled with wonder,
But only if you look.
Your mother's pride,
She'll never hide,
And your father's heart you took.

You are touched by every sight,
And your eyes are open wide.
To this, don't let go,
While you grow,
Keep nothing in your heart inside.

My advice to give to you,
My small and precious girl.
Keep your chin up,
Love will fill your cup,
And every flower will unfurl.
