My little girl, where did you go
Wasn't it just yesterday
I held you in my arms and danced you
Round and round the room
You laughed with delight as we twirled
to that silly little tune
What happened to all the time we had
The years that I looked forward too
When you were just a baby
I had so many dreams for you
You climbed onto my lap, to read stories together
Just you and I
And only Mommy could kiss the tears away
when you would cry
Where have all the years gone
My Daughter.....
Where did they go
When you were just born
I felt like we had forever, you know
Now that I look back
Mothers should not think that way
Our children grow up so fast
Weren't you my baby, only yesterday
Daughter, I will tell you this
Please listen and learn
Children do not stay little forever
Before you know it, into adults they will turn
So you treasure every minute
you have with your own little ones
When they are covered with mud
from head to toe
That really is not the time to scold
Get your camera out....
for it is a memory, to hold
When you give them a hug
Call them back and give them one more
Because one day will come
They are on their own
Going out of the door
You have turned into a very fine young lady
I am so proud of you
But, if I could have just one day back with my little girl
We would play and laugh, it would be our day
That's what we would do
From the first time I held you in my arms
I have loved you so very much
That will never change, even though we live apart
Yes, I see a woman standing there
But, that little girl of mine, is still inside of my heart
I Love You!

Beautiful Daughter
