Amazing Maisie

Amazing Maisie

You kept us waiting, contemplating, meditating on our dreams of you
An old soul travelling, time unraveling, till finally our wish came true
And after all, you slipped so easy into our arms
You were mysterious; we were delirious, graced with your bountiful charms

Though your brother thought you were a boy – oh joy! You’re a girl!
Your magnificence unfurls like the petals of a daisy

Amazing Maisie! So much love to give
Amazing Maisie! So much life to live
The twists and turns of the labyrinth (Amazing Maisie!) that finally brought you here
Amazing Maisie! We celebrate and raise a cheer for you: Maze, Pinenut, Mazoo!

You draw these pictures, these wondrous mixtures, such invention at your finger tips
You’re wearing polka dots with stripey socks: you design your sublime outfits
You hold an alligator by the tail with no sign of fright
While the fireflies glow, and dolphins say ‘hello’, through this blackberry delight

In tutus and sneakers, you’re funny – you make my life sunny! (Oh joy!) What a girl!
Your magnificence unfurls like the petals of a daisy
Where’s that little baby? (I’m right here!)

Amazing Maisie! So much love to give
Amazing Maisie! So much life to live

You’ve got a circle of love all around you; and the world is yours for the making
Growing stronger with every breath you breathe, working hard with each risk that you’re taking
This is my prayer for you: bring your heart to everything you do
