Blessed with a beautiful daughter,
Watching her as she has grown,
Into a beautiful woman,
Is the Greatest Blessing I have known.
I remember one magical moment,
(Three weeks old was all she could be)
When I wondered when she reached my age,
Just what career, and what life she'd foresee.
She skinned up her knees, and my heart-strings,
As she grew and tried to learn her "own way"
Of living, and loving, and sharing,
And caring,
Some things I even met with dismay !!!!
All to soon, she was off to college
And not my "baby girl" any more,
She still needed a soft place within my arms
To fall, when life was too much to ignore !!!!!!
And now my daughter~~~ has a daughter~~~
And the love that I see that they share
Makes my melancholy heart just burst with Pride
My tears are falling every where !!!
And I'm so proud to be the Mother
Of one of the Best Teachers in the World !!!!!!
And Prouder yet of the Mother
That she has become !!!!!!!
I'll tell the whole world---
That's my "baby girl" !!!!!!!!!!
God Bless you, Baby Boo,
and you already know that you have all of my love.
I just needed to tell you,
once more~~~~
