i came across a picture today--
one i had sent to a friend
who commented on
     how big you are getting

yes...
you are--
youre growing too fast

my little baby
will soon be in school
and forget about me

i wanted to be your
     best friend forever--
i'm losing you so quickly

the curls about your head
now fall beneath your chin
you have your own personality
laced with an attitude
     and defiance
bigger than your three and a half
     years

life aint always easy
     little one
dreams i had for you
     often fall by the wayside
     while life is busy happening

but i hope...
     i hope with all my heart
     that you always know
     how much i love you
     how much you mean to me--
you are the star in my sky
even on the blackest night...

my little cowgirl
grab your hat--
your rodeo's comin'
     and it wont be long...
it wont be long at all

just know i'll be in the stands
clapping for your every ride
     encouraging you  
     to get up from every fall
     lending a whistle
     and a woop call for your every
     win!
you keep your rodeo dreams
ride out in front of the crowd
     always shine--
          always shine...

i love you more than life...

Oh, she is so sweet! What an adorable picture, DG!  This is a wonderful tribute to your daughter ... something that should be tucked away and shared again with her for many years to come, just lovely!

Best wishes,
/Kit

This is precious in every way...something she will treasure when she is old enough to read your love.  I know she feels it now!
