My Dearest Daughter

As a little girI watched you
Run,  skip, jump and prance,
As a young lady , I stood by
As you  struggled,, learning to dance.

Teenage years  passed, too soon they were gone
As a young woman you wore  radiant glow,
I was so pleased with you  my darling
I beamed with pride for I loved you so.

Today you have taken wings
and exceeded my expectations by far,
I couldn't be happier or prouder
Of who you became, I love who you are  

I love you Mom
