Little Angel with a dirty face,
God sent you all through time and space
To fill my heart with such perfect glee,
My sweet Angel, you mean the world to me.

Sparkling blue eyes, brighter than the sky,
Sunbeams light the smile that meets my eye,
Golden locks of baby-hair so fine,
I'm so happy knowing you are mine.

Little Angel with a dirty face,
Can't you stay forever in this place,
Must you grow up? we might drift apart,
Little Angel, that would break my heart.

Yet I know that God has a plan for you,
And you must grow into that plan, it's true.
Let's just slow time down for just a while,
Let your Granna savor one more smile!

Little Angel with a dirty face,
Soggy diaper, messing the whole place,
Locked forever, in my memory,
Little Angel, you mean the world to me.

For my Sierra Leone
Love you,
Granna
