I will always cherish your little girl years
When we cuddled and played and shared many tears
Some times weren't perfect and those I regret
Please try to forgive me and try to forget
All in all, we have shared a memorable past
And to me that precious time went far too fast
Now that your'e grown-up and on your own
There isn't time to talk much, except on the phone
I miss you and wish we were together much more
To cuddle and play and share tears like before
Our relationship has changed but I can see how
You were my little girl then but my daughter now

I've always loved you best because endings are generally sad and you are such a joy. You accepted the milk stained bibs... the old crib, the cracked second hand toys the baby book , little in it except some baby pictures . You are the one I held onto so tightly , for you see , you are the link with the past that gives a reason for tomorrow. You darken my hair, quicken my steps, square my shoulders, restore my vision and give me humor, that security, maturity and endurity can't give. When your hair turns the color of new fallen snow~ you will still be the "baby"
i'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU BEST

I've always loved you best because you were the first miracle. You were the genius.... the fullfilment of young love, the promise of my immortality. You sustained me through the hamburger years The first apartement furnished in early poverty, the first T.V. paid for in 36 monthly installments. You were the new, had unused grandparents. You were the origional model for an untried mother trying to get the bugs out . You got the home-made foods ,open pins, and 3 hour naps.
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU BEST

God made the world with it's towering trees
majestic mountains and restless seas
then paused and said" It needs one more thing,
someone to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the woods and gather flowers
to commune with nature in quiet hours"
So God created little girls,
with laughing eyes and bouncing curls,
with joyful hearts and infectous smiles
enchanting ways and feminine wiles
and when he'd completed the task he'd begun
He was pleased and proud of the job he'd done
for the dearest joys of heavon above
can all be found in a little girls love.

God made a world out of his dream
of magic mountains,oceans and streams
Prairies and plains and wooded land
then paused and thought " I need someone to stand,
on top of the mountains, to conquer the seas.
Explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and grow
sturdy, strong like a tree and so...
He created boys full of spirit and fun
to explore and conquer , to romp and run
with dirty faces, banged up chins
with courageous hearts and boyish grins"
When he had completed the task he'd begun
He surely said " Thats a job well done"

You are such a special gift
surely a heaven sent treasure
the heartfelt joy you bring
nothing on earth can measure
Your kisses and your hugs
your smile and tender touch
your familar little voice
I cherish this all so much
The specialness of you
I'll hold in my heart forever
I know I'm richly blessed
Now and forever and ever
to my pride and joy
who I helped to bring into this world on Dec.11,1992
