A daughter is love, joy

and laughter, football

games, ice cream cones,

things I have taught her.

Sharing stories, secrets

and little fights,

watching movies till

late at night.

Shopping, lunches,

  smiles and tears.

a lifetime of memories

in just a few years.

It's amazing how

quickly the time does fly,

if you turn and blink

another day's gone by.

You're a beautiful woman

   with lots of finesse...

and I do know how truly 

I am blest.
