MY DAUGHTER
A daughter like you is so special
For right from the very start
You have filled life with such precious moments
That forever warm my heart
It’s so nice as the years have passed by
That the sweet little girl I once knew
Has grown to be such a companion
Such a loyal and good friend too
I remember the first time I held you
And the pride that I felt deep inside
The first morning we waved at the school gate
And the tears that I just couldn’t hide
Though your childhood passed by in an instant
As the years simply melted away
All the joy and the love that you’ve given
Fill my heart and my life to this day
For you’ve been such a wonderful daughter
So thoughtful, unselfish and kind
And I wish that whatever you strive for
As you travel through life you will find
For what more could a parent dare ask
Of a daughter as precious as you
Only that you will always be happy
And find joy in whatever you do.
