TO MY DAUGHTER

WHAT A DREAM CAME TRUE

THE DAY I HAD YOU

DAD AND I CRIED IN THE DELIVERY ROOM

WE SAW YOU AND OUR HEARTS WENT BOOM

I SAID “HI KATIE” RIGHT AWAY

HOW YOU WON OUR HEARTS THAT DAY

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S 21 YEARS AGO

THAT I STARTED TO LOVE YOU SO

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TO ME

AN ADULT NOW..YOUNG AND FREE

YOU ARE FIERY AND PASSIONATE

AND LIKE ME..OFTEN LATE

YOU CAN NOT COOK BUT YOU LOVE TO EAT

IN FIELD HOCKEY YOU HATE DEFEAT!

YOU HOLD FAMILY AND FRIENDS VERY DEAR

YOUR BABY BROTHER CAUSED MANY A TEAR

KEEP BEING TRUE TO YOU

AND ALL YOUR DREAMS WILL COME TRUE
