A mother's plea
I can't believe you are now seven
In a blink of an eye you will then turn 18
And maybe the next morning when I wake up
You will soon outgrow my lap
You're my sweet little girl full of charm
Soon I won't be able to carry you in my arms
So as you grow just a little older from today
I hope you will head your mother's plea
To please know you don't have to be great
That it's okay to keep trying you just
got to have faith
And when the world is trying to tell you what to do
May you keep yourself, pure and true
That when everything seems tiring learn to take a breather
In your family's embrace you always have a shelter
That you have support in everything you choose to do
And our prayers are always with you while you make your dreams come true
And no matter how much you've grown
Know that wherever you are, you're never alone
And though you are free to explore your own
Please know that there's always an open path back home
- End -
To my dear Sammie.
Happy 7th birthday my love
