If you should perhaps ever care to know
Why in my heart you will always grow -
From the instant that you and I first said hello,
A gift from the angels on me they did bestow.

No matter how hard parenting might be
Watching you grow continues to excite me.
Your grace, charm and kindness always delight me
Your spirit and heart will always be quite free.

I am proud to know you, proud to call you mine,
So pleased that our lives will always intertwine.
Your humor, your wit and your desire to define
All seems to fit together by heavenly design

Have I mentioned yet how lovely I think you are?
You are prettier than an evening sky full of summer stars,
More lovely than any model or the finest music on guitar,
Yet your heart and soul are lovelier, more precious, by far.

You are like me in so many delightful little ways
Yet so different in enough things to constantly amaze.
So many things about you to adore, respect and praise,
I hope we are together until the end of worldly days

I could never ask for a better, kinder, sweeter little girl,
You make me proud to be in this place, a part of this world.
When we are together my heart dances, twirls & swirls,
You are my precious diamond, my gem, my little pearl.
