Always My Baby

To my lovely daughter Angela who is 45 years old today. I cannot believe that is possible. Happy birthday darling, love you always Mum xxx

I can`t believe you`re forty five
It seems surreal to me
When it seems like yesterday
You were only three

Crossed your legs like mummy
Pigtails wrapped in pink
How could all that time have gone
It somehow makes you think

A mother and a grandma
My little girl is grown
I would have saved more memories
If only I had known

But youth takes youth for granted
Thinks time will always be
Young and oh so lovely
That time has gone for me

Still if I should dig a while
Deep within my mind
I can pluck my little girl
Oh yes I still can find

Pigtails, dimples, innocence
All the things you are
Live a life within my heart
And are never very far

So remember baby
That you will always be
My own, my very special own
And mean the world to me.
