Our Darling Daughter ALANA KATE 1983 TO 1985 Look at those hands so tiny and smooth Eight little fingers and two thumbs too Arms reaching out for protection and love Our darling Alana my gift from above My heart missed a beat when they gave you to me A vision of beauty a spirit so free You were our gift from heaven above You showered our lives with unconditional love Your skin was so pink like a beautiful rose Flaming red hair and and a cute button nose Your lips they were perfect in every way But little did we know you were slipping away Your time here on earth Alana was not very long But our lives were blessed and so full of songs We miss you my darling We loved you so much and we will never forget your magical touch written by© noreen baiely
