Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

You're my daughter and I love you
More than you'll ever know,
No matter what I do in life,
No matter where I go.

When I close my eyes and think of you,
I can see your face so clear.
I can feel the love deep in my heart,
In my soul, I hold you dear.

If I listen very closely,
I can hear your voice each day.
I can even hear your laughter
When you were a child at play.

I have the fondest memories
And I cherish every one,
The times we laughed, the times we cried,
And the times when we had fun.

So this is my birthday wish for you,
May this year bring you love,
And peace, and joy, and happiness,
And blessings from above.
