Daughter of my heart
You fill me with delight
For you’re so sweet and clever
And very very bright.

You dream and plan all sorts of things
Your mind is always on
And your dear presence stays with me
In times when you are gone.

That time I thought when all was lost
God clearly pulled you through
And love that He then gave to me
Has tied me close to you

God did not give to me my own
A little baby girl
So from his heart, He gave me Drea
Who means to me the world.

So on your birthday sweetheart
I wish you all the best
From your old Uncle Alfie
With love and all the rest.
