a precious girl gifted by God above
another sister multiplies the love
her name is biblical, Anna Noel
a coo that’s softer, sweeter than a dove
her liquid eyes deeper than sky of blue
she follows and reflects emotions true
with roundly curving cheeks and hair so fair
dear granddaughter, we’re all in love with you!
