My Daughter Grows Up

Life is fleeting, years rush past.... 
and little girls grow up so fast! 
Let me take time out to be 
glad that mine's still here with me. 

And though I'm busy through the day, 
let me take time out to play... 
Let me take time out to smile, 
to linger with her for a while... 

To invite her under the table for tea 
and dress up silly as can be. 
Let me take time out to sing 
and dance and skip 
and twirl and swing... 

To splash in puddles when it rains 
and make her fancy daisy chains. 
Let me take time out to hear 
about the things that she holds dear. 

Let me tuck her in at night, 
hear her prayers, turn off the light. 
And for one more moment let me pray 
and thank God that we shared this day! 


A Daughter's Gift
By Robert Sexton

When I imagine
the life you will live,
I think of the pleasure
your presence will give.

I see the joy your smile will light
and the wonders you'll weave
when your dreams take flight.

I feel the hope
that will grow with your grace
and the difference you'll make
to each heart you embrace.

I imagine your life
as I know it will be;
for, my daughter, you've given
all this to me.


Daughter
She's a little bit of sunshine,
She's a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above 
Who will fill your years with laughter,
And fill your heart with love.


A One-year Old Daughter
A One-year-old daughter is so many things --
A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings,
A hugger of Teddies,
A sweet sleepyhead,
And someone to dream for in bright years ahead...
A special new person
Who, right from the start,
Has a place in the family
And, of course, in your heart.
And, just when you think
That you've learned all the things
That your dear Daughter is
And the joy that she brings,
A hug or a grin
Comes with such sweet surprise
That love finds you smiling
With tears in your eyes!
