From the day you were born with eyes so bright and senses so alert; to men and women charmed by your smile and showing you off in church;

From preschool years and Christmas plays to wonder years you made the grade: to middle school games and competitions, you were the best with all’s attention;

From high school proms and invitations, you graced the room a sweet sensation; standing in the spotlight of heaven’s smile, dancing to the tune of music mild;

From graduation to a career go bright, you fell in love and became a wife; and now you have a baby girl who is just like you, a precious pearl; and someday she too will take her place, and charm the world with beauty and grace;

I shall be forever grateful to God, who gave to me a precious star; and in my heart you will always be my precious jewel that He gave to me.
