Daughter

I remember the day you were born!
A wonder which was a part of me shone on my life.
I forgot the pain of the moment,
When I saw you wailing as you emerged in this world.

You were a very sweet and cute baby,
Apple of my eye, as with everybody around you.
I would love it when you would stretch your hand and leap at me.
I would feel very secure with you in my arms.

Now that you are 11 years old,
All grown up and so.
For me you are still my baby and will remain so.
My treasured and wonderful gift from God!
