When God created you, the heavens rang
A symphony of praise and jubilee
Celestial ones with rapture danced and sang
And rainbow hues burst forth with joyous glee
We gathered round your crib, by wonder filled
Your tiny form I cradled to my chest
The joy that thrilled our hearts could not be stilled
As parents well we knew how we’d been blessed
You are the beauty of a starlit night
You are the gentle warmth of setting sun
You are the wonder of Aurora’s light
And none with you compares, not even one
My darling child, a woman now you are
You know the course you want your life to take
You have the will and strength to travel far
Protect your heart, my child, for mother’s sake
Be stronger than I am, be more secure
Speak out and use your voice to leave your mark
In fight for equal rights, you must endure
Let inner light burn bright; don’t lose that spark
A bed of roses life will never be
Yet be a fragrant rose of rarest hue
Your beauty let the worthy hearted see
Don’t be afraid to bloom in colors true
My precious girl, you are a mother’s dream
And when my heart is heavy, filled with care
To tired thoughts, you bring a golden gleam
I see your smile and life turns rosy, fair
You are my greatest joy, my lovely pearl
Your home is in my heart, and there you’ll stay
No matter where you go, you're still my girl
Be sure my love will help you find your way
