Daughter Birthday
When the chips are down and help is needed
We know where to turn if love is heeded
For a daughter like you is rare indeed
That fulfils that love, fulfils that need.
We've seen you grow, we've seen you fight,
To know the difference between wrong and right
We're proud as punch to call you ours
And we love it when you bring us flowers.
Another birthday comes then goes,
Another line in your life of prose
Where couplets do not always rhyme
Where music is not always in time.
But hey! That's life and didn't we warn yer
That surprises lurk round every corner.
And sometimes it's better to go with the flow
Than stick to all the things you know.
So daughter dear have no fear
For like it or not we'll always be near;
In your heart and in your soul
Part of us all, part of the whole.
