I recall the day you were born

My life no longer forlorn

You changed me in an instant

My life consumed by this beautiful infant

I'd look in on you each night, the relief when I saw you breathing

How proud I felt, I'd pinch myself sometimes to be sure I wasn't dreaming


You grew into the sweetest girl

Cute smile and lots of curls

I smiled the day you leanred to fasten your own laces

You went running 'round telling everyone, like you were the greatest

You'd fall and weep, how I wish I could feel your pain

I wrote a poem once, while thinking of you, called 'only hope remains'


You've done so well at school, making me so proud

I want to shout it from the rooftops, make sure everyone knows and yell it out loud

You'll soon be making your way out into this world

Pretty smile and lots of curls

I can only pray your life is happy and long

How I wish I could sit you on my knee just one more time, and sing the Barney song

Beautiful Joe. Your daughter is a very lucky girl.
