An Ode to Charlotte

Oh Charlotte, my Charlotte,
How beautiful and sweet.

I love to see your tiny smile

And kiss your dimpled cheeks.

Oh Charlotte, lovely Charlotte,

How wonderful you are.

I cannot wait to hold you close

When I am off afar.

Oh Charlotte, pure Charlotte,

You're growing up too fast.

Already you've outgrown some clothes

So quickly time has passed.

Oh Charlotte, little Charlotte,

You mean so much to me.

Some day you'll be liking boys;

With that I won't be pleased.

Oh Charlotte, sweet Charlotte,

I love you oh so much.

When you leave for college,

Please, please, stay in touch.

Oh Charlotte, dear Charlotte,

You're so innocent and clean.

With all your heart, please stay that way

When life gets dark and mean.

Oh Charlotte, cute Charlotte,

You are such a treasure.

May the Lord God bless and keep you

And fill your life with pleasure.
