"MEMORIES OF MY LITTLE GIRL"

Dedicated With Love To My Dear Daughter

Helen Elaine Hill Bogus

Whose Childhood Nickname Was Pinky.

As I look back to your childhood days -

One thing I vividly recall.

Caring for you - in many ways -

Was almost like playing with a doll!

Helen at 13 months of age.

When I would hear a sound at night -

I would tiptoe down the hall.

I had to be sure everything was alright -

For I loved my real live doll!

Helen (Pinky) at age 2.

Quite often I glance at pictures of you -

Which are hanging on the wall.

I remember cute things you'd say and do -

You were such a charming little doll!

Pinky at age 3.

I also recall when you slipped on the stairs -

And took that terrible fall!

I still thank The Lord for hearing my prayers -

For my precious, adorable doll!

Pinky at age 4.

Sometimes when a mother and child are near

And I hear a sweet voice call,

"Mommy!" ... I wipe away a tear -

Remembering "My Own Dear Doll"!

Pinky at age 6.

Your "Little Girl" days have all gone by -

You're A Lady - The Dearest Of All!

I'll love you forever - and now you know why -

Your mother calls you "Doll"!
