Do I Make You Proud
So Often My mind thought this
From the time that I was small
Always trying so very hard
To be Your Perfect Little Girl
Yet, I always seemed to fall short
Of what You expected of me
But I never gave up trying
To be what You wanted me to be
So many times I disappointed You
Yet , No More then I disappointed Myself
I saw that in your empty gaze
One that You could not help
Do I make You proud I thought
And the answer echoed inside of me
Although I am Your only child
I can never be what you want me to be
Years have past and now I am grown
A Little girl no more
As I look at My sweet Little girl
The one that I adore
I do not wait for her to ask me
Mom do I make you proud
I tell her over time and again
For ,this is what love is all about
Yes ,You make me proud I thought
Echoing loud inside of me
Yes you are My Only child
Your everything I hoped you would be.
