Shining Curls [poem by “Southern Cross”]

[Editor: This poem by “Southern Cross” was published in A Child’s Smile (1944).]

Shining Curls

Shining curls so silky soft,
Eyes of blue;
Little hands in mischief oft —
We love you.
Happy prattle all day long,
Little feet that trip a song,
One day you’ll be big and strong —
We’ll still love you.

Greatest gift God can bestow,
Lovely children, as you grow,
We would like you all to know
That we love you.
