Alyda Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Alyda you're special,

Mom & Dad love you lots
You're ever in their prayers,

Evermore in their thoughts
What's best, they want for you

Don't ever you forget
Share with them all your fortunes

When disheartened or upset
When your day has been brutal,

If you're mad, hurt, or down
I appeal to you dear one

That you kneel on the ground
And unveil to your Father

Your afflictions and your trials
Then to mom and dad's station

Zero in with your dial
They are always there for you

And awaiting your call
They will kiss and embrace you,

And you'll all have a ball
You will jump on dad's shoulders,

As your mom strokes your hair
This one thing please remember:

They forever will be there
Now there's mom, dad and you,

Two sisses and one bro
That makes six, but who knows,

Will there someday be more...
One more sister, one more brother?

The impending's not so clear
Not for them nor for you

But it will be someone dear
Dad and Mom want to see you smile

And your cherubic face
That you feel good inside

That you're in the right place
When mom and dad married

They plead, prayed and implored
That they'd first have an angel

And you're just what they hoped for-
