Daughter

Daughter, I want for you love and laughter I wish for your happily ever after I want you to hold your head high And look people in the eye Treat others with kindness and grace Don’t fall on your sword just to save face Above all, live life out loud Walk tall and be proud Never forget how far you have come Never give up until you are done Mom, thank you for the gifts you gave The safe and loving home you made You showed me how to love and give By example, with the life you live I’m inspired by all that you do And proud to be even a little like you I can’t tell you just how much it means That you’ve always helped me chase my dreams It doesn’t matter how old I get I can never fully repay the debt You have always stood by my side To face the world instead of hide Daughter, I wish for you a life of joy and peace May your blessings never cease I hope that all your dreams come true Whatever that means for you Don’t follow the same path as me Save yourself the misery Remember not to lose yourself You don’t need to be anyone else I hope you find your forever love And you get everything you’re dreaming of No matter where you go in this world You will always be my little girl
