In Her Eyes

Ellieanna eyes objects at two.

Our Ellieanna eyes objects at two;
I can’t keep up with her although I try.
In her eyes I see the likeness of you.

I am amazed how our little girl grew;
sometimes the good neighbors simply drop by.
Our Ellieanna eyes objects at two.

Up on the shelf there’s a picture with blue;
look at our daughter beneath the blue sky!
In her eyes I see the likeness of you.

She likes to giggle and run with my shoe,
and I can give you the real reason why.
Our Ellieanna eyes objects at two.

One rubber ducky in hand is a view;
she grips it tightly before she is dry.
In her eyes I see the likeness of you.

Then when she’s dry with wide eyes I say, “Boo;”
she grabs the soap dish and giggles a, “Hi!”
Our Ellieanna eyes objects at two;
in her eyes I see the likeness of you.
