MY  DAUGHTER,

MY  FRIEND

When I first held you in my arms.

You captured me with your charms.

We played with dolls and your toys.

We shared our sorrows and our joy's.

I still remember the beach and the sand.

And night's bedtime tale of fairyland.

Now I can see myself in you.

The way you laugh and things you do.

While we're two we're also one.

When everything said and everything done.

I wish I could have offered more.

But from these words, my feeling pour.

Our love will grow and never end.

For you're my daughter and my friend.
