My Little Girl

I remember when you Were just a baby When I could hold you in my arms And rock you to sleep Over the years as you grew You were a little handful at times We laugh about that now Part of me loves to watch you grow And become more independent Another part of me wants you To stay my little girl forever Sometimes I feel so frightened For I dread the day that you will No longer need Mommy to Kiss your boo boos to Make them better I dread the day that you will no longer Need Mommy to hold your hand When you cross the street or Give you kisses when I tuck you in at night I will mourn your childhood years Because it will be the ending Of a time when you thought I was the greatest Mommy In the whole world I will miss the times when we Blasted the CD player And danced around the living room I will miss taking you shopping for New clothes for school I will miss our "girls day out" When we would go to Dillards And spend a whole day Getting our hair done I wish these days Could last forever Because no matter how old you get You will always be my baby In my heart you will always Be my little girl forever
