For your first birthday

Oh Lydia Jane, my sweet Lydia Jane
You are far from plain

You like to hang upside down
Just to clown around
And mimic your brother's faces
even when he is putting his cars on the track for races.

Oh Lydia Jane, my sweet Lydia Jane
You are far from plain

You lead with a smile and a kiss
Even when everything is amiss
And brighten all of our days
Like the sunshine after a hard rain.

Oh Lydia Jane, my sweet Lydia Jane
You are far from plain

You like to snuggle with your blankie on my chest
And pretend like you are getting ready for beauty rest
Then pop up and give me a grin
How can I resist you, so fun yet feminine.

Oh Lydia Jane, my sweet Lydia Jane
You are far from plain

Your beauty is no secret, this is true
For your eyes are ocean blue
And your hair the color of auburn, my love
You were surely sent from above.
