The day you were born
dimples on each cheek,
I scooped you in my arms
and took a peek.

Your brown eyes wide open,
I gazed in them deep.
I thought of  your future,
I could not speak.

You grew up so quick.
From a helpless baby
to a woman gone away.
My little girl turned into a lady.

Only a blink in time,
that's what comes to mind.
Wisked away into adulthood,
your own way to find.

Was it ever enough?
I'm sure every Mother wonders.
Did we do enough,
or were our attempts blunders?

Parents we tried to be.
Did we do a good job?
So many questions unanswered.
I feel like my time was robbed.

All the years we did fun things,
sometimes we could not agree.
Life has its moments,
we hope the right path we see.

I look for the words to tell you
how special you are in my life.
Going beyond comprehension,
my search for them
was endless strife.

Simply put, there is no
better Daughter at all.
My best friend through our laughs,
and all of our falls.

I forget you are a woman now,
my baby still lives in my heart.
On this day I wish you
peace, love, and happiness,
straight from my heart!



Ykily,
Mom
