The day you were born
Dimples on each cheek
I scooped you in my arms
And took a peek

Your brown eyes wide open
I gazed in them deep
I thought of your future
I could not speak

You grew up so quick
From a helpless baby
To a woman gone away
My little girl turned into a lady

Only a blink in time
That's what comes to mind
Wisked away into adulthood
Your own way to find

Was it ever enough
I'm sure every Mother wonders
Did we do enough
Or were our attempts blunders

Parents we tried to be
Did we do a good job
So many questions unanswered
I feel like my time was robbed

All the years we did fun things
Sometimes we could not agree
Life has its moments
We hope the right path we see

I look for the words to tell you
How special you are in my life
Going beyond comprehension
My search for them was endless strife

Simply put, there is no
Better Daughter at all
My best friend through our laughs
And all of our falls

I forget you are a woman now
my baby still lives in my heart
On this day I wish you
Peace, love, and happiness
Straight from my heart



Ykily,
Mom
