Dear Daughter

 

Dear daughter, I tiptoed in your room tonight and I looked down at you smilin in your sleep.

You were so lovely my heart nearly broke;

and I thought how much like Sleeping Beauty a little girl is.

When I tuck you in at night I never know how old you'll be when you wake.

One evening you crawl on your dad's lap and

throw your arms around his neck,

The next morning you might be much too grown up for that sort of thing.

  You're so quickly approaching the awkward age, too young to drive

the car and yet too old to be carried in the house half asleep on daddy's shoulder.

I have a secret that I've never told you, Sleeping Beauty,

you're going on a very exciting trip.

You'll travel from

yesterday all the way to tomorrow.

It's a rapid journey and you'll travel light,

leaving behind you - measles, mumps, freckles, bumps, bubble gum and me.

  I promise not to feel too hurt when you discover that the world is more

important than your daddy's lap.

Yesterday you were blue jeans and pig tails,

the neighborhood's best tree climber.

Tomorrow you'll be blue organdy and

pony tails and you'll view the world from a loftier perch

a pair of high heel shoes.

  Yesterday you could mend a doll's broken leg with a hug; tomorrow you'll

be able to break a young man's heart with a kiss.

Humh! Humh! Yesterday you could get lost one aisle away from me

at a supermarket - now I have to worry about losing you down

another aisle to some strange young man.

You see, just at the point where you're growing pains stop,

mine begins. Yesterday you were kind of a pain in the neck

when you were around, tomorrow you'll be an

ache in my heart when your not.   

Tomorrow you'll lay aside your jump rope and tie up the telephone lines

and that little boy that used to push you in the mud;

well, he'll fight to sit out a dance with you.

The clock is countin' the minutes for you and the

sky upstairs is savin' its' brighest stars;

and the sun is waitin' with its' shiniest day.  

Oh I, I can't expect you to live in a doll house forever.

Sooner or later, the butterfly sheds it's cocoon

and the smallest bird must try its wings.

But when you grow up and out of my arms;

when you finally get too big for my shirts,

I'll still recall how you used to scatter dust

and dolls and partially through ev'ry room in the house;

but you spread sunshine too.

The dust is settled, your mom picked up the dolls;

but the sunshine will always fill

the corners of our hearts.  

So, here I am talking in your sleep, because,

well if you saw this look on my face,

you'd laugh and if I spoke with this lump in my throat,

I'd cry.

Yea! honey when I looked at you tonight

you were a Sleeping Beauty.

So, I tiptoed over and I kissed you

you didn't wake up, I knew you wouldn't.

According to the legend only the

handsome young prince can open your eyes

and I'm just the father of the future bride.  

So you sleep on pretty thing,

tomorrow you'll wake and you'll be a young lady

and you won't even realize that you've changed courses

in the middle of a dream.

But you might notice a little change in me;

I'll look a little different somehow.

A little sadder, a little wiser,

but a whole lot richer.

Tonight, I kissed a princess and I feel like a king

Love,Mom And Dad

Jim, Your The Man Of The Family Now,

And You Look So Much Like Your Dad,

We're So Proud Of Our Grandsons,

And So Proud Of Our Jim

Jim, We Love And Miss You So Much

To My Grown Up Son

My hands were busy through the day I didn't have much time to play

The little games you asked me to I didn't have much time for you.

I'd wash your clothes, I'd sew and cook, But when you'd bring your picture book

And ask me please to share your fun, I'd say: "A little later, son.

I'd tuck you in all safe at night And hear your prayers, turn out the light,

Then tiptoe softly to the door I wish I'd stayed a minute more.

For life is short, the years rush past . . . A little boy grows up so fast.

No longer is he at your side, His precious secrets to confide.

The picture books are put away, There are no longer games to play,

No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear . . . That all belongs to yesteryear.

My hands, once busy, now are still. The days are long and hard to fill.

I wish I could go back and do The little things you asked me to!!!Love,Mom And Dad

You Too Try To Take Care

Of All Your Grown Kids,

Your A Helper,Giver And Lover

Your The Apple Of Our Eye

We Love And Miss You So

Daughters!

Little hands and tiny feet, Shy, and cute, and so petite;

Little whimpers, little cries, Darling, little sparkling eyes;

Outstretched fingers, wiggling toes; God, how can you love them so!

Children chase away the gloom, And sunshine fills most every room;

Little mannerisms dear, Laughs of happiness and cheer;

You just can't know the joy of home, Until you have children of your own.

You feel so humble, deep inside, And have so much parental pride;

You can't describe the joy and pleasure, God has given with this treasure;

A million couldn't buy the joy, The happiness, and love, sublime;

They're bundles straight from heaven, And, Lord, they're really mine

A MOTHER'S LOVE!

I have watched you grow up over the years, And shared in the learning, the joys and the tears.

I've seen you become the person who you are today,

A child of mine, and so very special to me, in every way.

Through the years you have brought my heart many smiles,

And even through any hard times, you made it all worthwhile.

I will always be here for you, always right by your side,

Whether it be just to listen to you, or to be your guide.

I can't lead your life for you, and protect you from all harms,

But my love will be embracing you, as if you were in my arms.

Above all else, your happiness is so very important to me,

And when I see your smiling face, it fills my heart so lovingly.

I gave you the gift of life, and in return I've received love,

Your a true blessing given to me from the Lord above.

For the love between a mother and a child is like no other,

And I am so proud that I am able to say, I am YOUR mother

Love,Mom And Dad
