 Penniluck's legacy

Just The Same


Oh such a beautiful baby I made
So perfect was she that I felt afraid
I counted each finger and every toe
All mothers do this I think you all know.

The first word she said was Mama, for me
I wondered so often what her life would be.
I smiled triumphant, she took her first step
She started school and my how she wept.

Teen years came quickly, shapely so soon
The hint of a woman walked into the room
Then she had children, two boys and a lass
Taking her place in our mothers class.

Sadness and sorrow did not pass her by
If only I`d known then, she never would cry.
Still now she`s happy, a love all her own
I feel at peace now, she won`t be alone.

Today my sweet baby is thirty years old
Memories she gave me more precious than gold.
To me she will always remain just the same
My baby, my child, my own special wean.

Please just be happy oh child of my heart
I love you as much as I did at the start.
May all you wish for today all come true
Mostly remember I`ll always love you.
