Be Patient

To my lovely youngest child Cindy-Anna on her 29Th birthday on 22/10/10. I love you baby and always will. Mum xxx

So afraid that time will fly
And you might miss a minute
Darling child you take of life
Everything that`s in it.

That`s alright but don`t you rush
For you might miss the fun
While worrying about your age
You`ll run and run and run.

Slow down darling, breathe in deep
Smell the air of youth
Full of wonder and of joy
Stop! Look! I tell you truth

Today`s a very special day
You`re only twenty-nine
The best of life is starting
For teenage years, don`t pine.

Now you`re old enough to know
What road you should be on
Uncertainty of puberty
Behind you, woman grown.

Life is there before you
The choices, they are free
Choose my darling, happiness
It`s there for you, you see.

Grab it, hold it tenderly
And sweetheart have no fear
You will find a special love
Within the next new year.

Don`t lose sight of who you are
And who you want to be
There is someone out there
Be patient and you`ll see.

But for now be happy
Laugh, have lots of fun
Have a happy day to day
While lying in the sun.
