For The Woman You Are

 

Seems so around the corner, when I held your little finger

That wrapped around mine, thought this would linger

Then time passed on,  a whimsical whirl

Before I knew it, no longer my baby girl

 

Through school and all the hard times that we all endured

You let nothing stand by your way, nothing to obscure

Your determination to move on and do what is right for you

You pushed on forward through and through

 

Discovering life, seeing the facades and beauty

Believed in yourself,  no other person’s duty

But to make it your own, take it straight to the heart

To be productive and honest was your major part

 

I look at you today and wonder do you really know

Do others appreciate you and do they let it show

For you extend yourself, to others far and near

You’re sweet, strong and fear not shed a tear

 

I am proud of the person that you are, genuine and sweet

Never let something or someone allow your defeat

Be it known little girl that my baby you’ll always be

Though now you’re a powerful woman, now in front of me I see
