To My Daughter

How often do I say My love grows for you everyday? Each time you smile You make everything worthwhile The day your soul started growing I found a certain peace and knowing Something that comes with Motherhood My role as Mother I understood Your life was the best gift God gave me An extension of my family tree A daughter to be proud of I thank the heavens above I know sometimes we fight Stubbornly we believe each one is right But our arguments don’t last for long As we finally see that fighting is wrong You are like my best friend You inspire me to no end You are my guiding light You give me reason to fight You have a beautiful heart And in life...that’s an integral part A good recipe for happiness And a lifetime full of kindness Your spirit keeps me going As your confidence keeps growing You teach me day by day How to live in the best way We will always be together Our hearts are joined forever Even when death does us part You will always stay in my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
