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
