The Embrace

When she was born i was in awe
I hugged her so
I was the first person she saw
when she walked then talked 
I jumped for joy and gawked
every day that passed my lil girl
I embraced
when she started school
stared in her first play as a fool
I was there dressed to impress
and one day she'll marry
and once again my daughter
I'll embrace
for whenever she acomplishes something
the first thing she'll see
is my face
and in my arms I'll embrace
