Anna's Daughter by Hensley Banzales

i.

Little girl, I can see your smile,

a mile long from where I stand.

One of the most beautiful beam

I have ever seen from a child.

Keep smiling for Anna

Keep smiling for us.

ii.

You have puppy eyes that calms

strangers from the nearest of distance

like us, the friends of your Mom.

Has anyone told you,

your fragile eyes

can translate happiness?

iii.

Remember: your unworded hello

made us happy, made us soft;

Like any adult who keeps forgetting

that once, he or she was a child.
