For my daughter on her birthday

She’s always been my little girl
both friend and helper at my side
She had such beautiful blond curls
and eyes the greenest you could find

We grew together, she and I
pushed through so many obstacles
Now when she’s hurt I want to cry
She needs a change so radical.

She’s had such bad times recently
A Mom herself, she tries her best
A little help withheld cruelly
due to a man worse than the rest.

To you, my little girl so grown
I wish a dream to come to pass
on this, your birthday, you must know
how much my love will always last.

Oh if we could only protect them from the outside world all their life. So sad a write. I know she's glad she has a Mom such as you.

This is too beautiful and too sad, and also too close to home.  Yet, my daughter, though childless and now husbandless, too, is coming up out of the well, the cavern she's been in and is succeeding beautifully in her life.  It is good to be so happy for her and to see her see possibilities again.

Sandra...
I am once again mystified by the similarities in our seperate lives!  This is also my daughter's birthday!!
I know that your daughter is grateful to have such a loving and gentle mother as you, and I also hope that all will be well with her and her little ones.  Wish her Happy Birthday for me.......

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!
