Dear Little Hester
A dear little baby to us was born--
Oh, happy day; oh, wonderful morn!
Only five pounds and two, this baby of ours;
But sweeter than honey, and fairer than flowers!
She was full of spirit, and life, and pep;
She soon learned to crawl, and then take a step;
Before we knew it, she skipped off to school--
Where she does just fine, as a general rule--
And now she’s grown up to the age of eight,
Learning to cook, and liking to skate.
And as we watch our little girl grow,
There’s one thing, dear Hester, we want you to know:
Always love Jesus with all of your heart,
And He’ll be your Redeemer, and never depart!
Written in
Hester’s autograph album,
9-24-97, when
she was 8
