This is for my 9 year old daughter.

Joanna

Beautiful girl
So sweet so kind
Every day
You’re on my mind

Your father and I love you
As does your sister, I’m sure
Into our hearts
You have opened your door

My heart fills with pride
When you work hard
When you hug me
Or make me a card

This year you’ll be nine
You’re growing up fast
Too soon the future
Will be the past

For now we must cherish
The time that we share
Look into my heart
Find my love for you there
