A poem for Liyalah Grace: "Daddy's Angel", written 1/12/2021 by her loving father.

Daddy's Angel

How beautiful you are, Child of God.
Your mother and I prayed for you and the Lord answered our call.

I knew when you were conceived, you were destined to be someone special and blessed,
A Child of God.

I waited so long for you, like He waited for me.
I was so proud to be your Daddy.

I could have busted, so swollen with pride for you, even though...
Deep down in my heart, I knew—You weren't mine, you are His!

Never of this world—so perfect so,
He came to take you home.
I'm so proud of you still.

We love you, you know, and we wonder how great you'll be, but I guess only He knows.
You're His child now, but you'll always be your Daddy's Angel.
