Daughter Admired

I look back in time, Young and very innocent

Seeing the world through your eyes

Memories I hold safe in my heart

To sometimes unwrap with a smile and the comfort of a sigh

Now my little girl is grown, A woman you have become

With the wisdom and strength God has given

Is tranquility I feel knowing that anything you will overcome

This strength and warmth of heart I see in you

I know will lay no boundaries

For the world is yours to have sweetheart

To hold in your hands, each moment to appreciate and seize

I am there for eternity, If only in thought

A place you can come to as you feel you need

I am there standing in the shadows allowing you to grow and learn

Holding onto the knowledge that with your heart, You will succeed

It is your strength and kind heart about you that shines

As a single ray of sunlight beaming through a cloud
insisting we look higher and higher

To lift us up when we are down

It is this my daughter in you that I do admire.
