For Miranda
I have been blessed
With the most wonderful child.
Even through her teen years
When her friends ran wild.
She was my rock
When her father walked out.
She's the reason I went on
When I was in doubt.
She phones me daily
Just to say "hi".
She knows what I'm feeling,
To her, I couldn't lie.
I see a younger me
When I look in her face.
We are so much alike,
Take life at the same pace.
She ends each conversation
With an "I love you".
And of course my reply
Is "I love you, too".
She's made my world better
In more ways than she'll know.
She's my one in a million
And I love her so.
My gratitude to God
I will never stop giving,
For my beautiful Miranda
Who's made life worth living.
