My Hija Preciosa

My pequeña hija,

Princesa of the casa.

She gives me amor,

She heals my corazón,

She takes away my dolor.

She is dulce like miel,

She is my diamante.

Her risa is luz,

She is my tiara.

She is brillo of my ojos,

Her ingenio stuns me.

She is amable to critters,

We are best amigas.

A huge regalo,

She is in this vida.

Translation:

My little daughter is the princess of the house. She gives me love, heals my heart, and takes away my pain. She is as sweet as honey and is my diamond. Her laughter brings light into my life, and she is like a tiara to me. She sparkles in my eyes, and her cleverness amazes me. She is kind to critters, and we are best friends. She is a huge gift in this life.

Give some claps if this made you think of your daughter, son, or any loved one.
