My Precious Daughter
Sometime ago I jotted this down...from where I don't know. Although I posted this last year, too, I have saved it to send to my daughter once again on her birthday, which is April 1st. It reminded me of times when I was watchingher grow, and of happier times later when I could just call her up and tell her these things. I love and miss her more than this mother could ever express, so this is to Ali:
My Precious Daughter
The joy of my life was just watching you grow.
You were my little princess, all tied with a bow.
I'd read you the same book over & over again,
and listen to "God Blesses" till you finally said "Amen".
I'd watch you through a window as you'd run and play,
and I'd say a little prayer that you'd remember one day...
That you were loved so very much, and how I loved watching you grow
Into WHO you are today...someone all the world should know.

We love you so much, and wish you a very Happy Birthday doing all the things you love to do.
Love always, Your Family
