Gone is the little girl with buckle shoes, frilly dress and ribbons in her hair.

Arrived is the woman in the lace and satin of her wedding day.

Gone is the time of bumps and bruises, refrigerator pictures, childhood hugs and kisses.

Arrived is my friend, the bride, the woman, who is my daughter.

Forever my little girl,

Forever I'll be there for you,

Forever my love is yours.

May life bring you all your hopes and desires with days full of happiness and love.
