A senior

"Daughter"

I look back in time,

Young and very innocent

Seeing the world through your eyes

Memories I hold safe in my heart

To sometimes unwrap with a smile

and the comfort of a sigh

Now my little girl is grown,

A woman you have become

With the wisdom and strength God has given

Is tranquility I feel knowing that anything

you will overcome

This strength and warmth

of heart I see in you

I know will lay no boundaries

For the world is yours to have sweetheart.....

To hold in your hands,

each moment to appreciate and seize

I am there for eternity,

If only in thought

A place you can come to as you feel you need.

I am standing in the shadows allowing you 

to grow and learn

Holding onto the knowledge that 

with your heart,

you will succeed.

It is your strength and kind heart about you that shines.....

As a single ray of sunlight beaming through a cloud

insisting we look higher and higher

To lift us up when we are down.

It is this my daughter in you

that I do admire."
