"God made the world with its towering trees
Majestic mountains and restless seas
Then paused and said, “It needs one more thing
Someone to laugh and dance and sing
To walk in the woods and gather flowers
To commune with nature in quiet hours”
So God made little girls
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles
Enchanting ways and feminine wiles
And when He’d completed the task He’d begun
He was pleased and proud of the job He’d done
For the world, when seen through a
little girl’s eyes,
Greatly resembles Paradise.""> "God made the world with its towering trees

Why God Made Little Girls

Description

I took this photo of my three girls on the shore of Lake Sakakawea, North Dakota. Sept. 17, 2008, around 6pm. On the 20x30 I have blown up at home, the poem "Why God Made Little Girls" is lightly overlaid on the left side - I left it off here, because I didn't think it would be legible. However, it seems to fit so well with this photo, here it is - author unknown -

"God made the world with its towering trees
Majestic mountains and restless seas
Then paused and said, “It needs one more thing
Someone to laugh and dance and sing
To walk in the woods and gather flowers
To commune with nature in quiet hours”
So God made little girls
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles
Enchanting ways and feminine wiles
And when He’d completed the task He’d begun
He was pleased and proud of the job He’d done
For the world, when seen through a
little girl’s eyes,
Greatly resembles Paradise."
