When you were just a newborn babe, you awed and frightened me.
So tiny, fragile and perfectly formed. How could you possibly be?
I thrilled when I saw you first roll over, clapped when you sat up yourself.
So proud I was when you took your first steps, my grinning, mischievious elf.
We've grown together, you and I, and taught each other so much.
Like the special warmth a hug can bring, and the healing power of a touch.
I've cried with you, laughed with you, swapped angry words. I've shared both your joy and your pain.
And though there've been rough times mixed in with the good, I'd do it all over again.
For you are the sunshine that warms up my life, the rainbow that shines on my world.
No matter how old you are, or how far away, you'll always be my little girl!
