To My Lovely Daughter, Theresa

When I look at you, I can't believe
How quickly time has flown!
You were once my darling baby,
But just look at how you've grown!

You're everything that parents wish
Their daughters will someday be:
Beautiful, kind, and caring,
Full of love for all to see;

You're proud, and independent,
Smart, and witty, too;
So many good things all describe
A daughter such as you.

We're oh, so very proud of you,
As surely you must know;
And you know our love goes with you, dear,
Wherever you may go.

Someday, you'll find a special man
With whom to share your life,
And he'll be blessed and happy
With such a special wife.

And when you hold your own child,
Whether it be a girl, or boy,
You'll know then how much we love you,
And how you filled our hearts with joy!

With Love,
Mom

The Midi you are listening to is the special song I
used to rock Theresa to sleep with. So many years ago, and yet,
it still seems like only yesterday....I love you, Daughter!
