On September the Ninetenth 1974
My daughter Michelle was born on that date
The good Lord blessed me with a baby girl
and to me she was more precious than any pearl
then you were tiny but the love you expressed
was enough to swell my chest
my joy and pride forever grows
and I wonder if it really shows
now that you are a woman
I still love you dearly
and that I say very sincerly
Only a daughter knows just what you mean,
Couldn't care less if your house isn't clean,
Keeps all your secrets, including your weight---
Only a daughter who's great.
Only a daughter will lend you a shirt,
Help you get moved, share a dessert,
Not say a word unless asked for advice---
Only a daughter who's nice.
Only a daughter will cover your butt,
Stand up for your rights, tell you what's what,
Offer a thoughtful and smart point of view,
Be the one person who keeps coming through,
Someone you just gotta love (and I do!!)
My beautiful daughter, love of my heart,
I hope that you know you're wonderful and smart.
I cherish you dearly for the person you are
You have passion and caring that will carry you far.
I'm so blessed that you're my daughter
Let me tell you how I feel:
The deep affection I have for you
Is honest, true and real.
You turned out even better
Than I often dreamed you'd be;
You're more than I had hoped for;
You're a sweet reward to me
You grew up to be a daughter
Full of wisdom, warmth and love,
A good and fine role model,
from the heavens up above.
I couldn't be any prouder
Than I am today of you;
You're my daughter and my friend,
And a blessing in every way.
You have my love forever;
I adored you from the start;
It's a privilege to be your mother,
Dear daughter of my heart.
You always bring me that special joy
That comes from deep inside
That every year that passes by
Your more special than before
Through every stage through every age
I love you even more.
Your a very special daughter to me
That words can describe
And I know sometimes Im so hard on you
And it hurts me to see you cry.......
I have always tried to be there for you
In every way
I'am the proudest mom by far to say.
My how the years have flown
Now look my little angel your all grown
No matter what happens
You will always be my only little girl.
