Youngest At 18
'Youngest at 18'
Well at last it's here, my baby eighteen
Yet she doesn't want fuss or show off like a queen
"I just want the money, no presents or party"
That's my girl, she's such a smarty
Heading her way to the top of her game
She doesn't want glamour or ill gotten fame
Works hard for her future
Knows just what she'd like
A car's what she aims for, no time for a bike
She may not even read this amazing post
Given she knows her place, so more important than most
Our chef, our baker, our requestor of ponies
This kid has no time for fakers or phonies
So lucky am I to have her in my life
One day she will make an amazing wife
So here's to my youngest, she's one of a kind
No sweeter a girl deep inside you will find
She may not show it, how loving she is
But her love and affection gets me in a tizz
Raise a cup of tea to this girl, this woman, exec
And if you're REALLY lucky she might just cuddle your neck
