8 ON THE 8TH

8 ON THE 8TH

© RYAN GUILEY

Ciara is turning a big eight,

Who is so lovely and great,

Our only daughter who shines,

As I was not there being behind.

 

She might play with her toy dolls,

As I can’t watch her or make a call,

Our little girl doesn’t know her Dad,

But she knows when I see her, I’m glad.

 

It only happens once, where she turns,

8 on the 8th, as she grows like a worm,

Soon, she will be ten and then fourteen,

Going out with her favourite jeans.

 

Such a young and pretty girl,

Who dances and makes a twirl,

Who is turning eight years old,

My little girl who I can’t hold.

 

Ciara is so bright, who is remarkable,

Missing story time and reading fables,

Does she draw fancy and trace a picture?

Along with her doll or her stuff animal with fur?

 

Wishing you a happy birthday,

Who gleams like her Mom with rays,

You’re now an octopus with eight arms,

As you are so incredible and my charm.
