Happy Fourteenth

Fourteen years have gone by Since your miraculous birth The Lord sent down an Angel To live here on Earth From the first day I saw you You captured my heart I loved you so much Right from the start A dark, chubby baby I never saw you cry I wanted to carry you Every time you came by I held you in your baptism A cherished moment I keep When Father poured the water You didn’t even weep The next time I saw you You were old enough to play Though gone for a while We got along right away Whenever I go home You’re the reason why I’m there That’s why I want you to Be with me everywhere
But every time I see you You’re always a year older You grow up so fast Now reaching my shoulder
And when we're together Words cannot describe The love that we share That heavenly vibe
I’m so glad you come along When it’s time for me to fly You would even skip school To be the last to say Goodbye Whenever I'm away My love transcends the sea Thinking of you so fondly Wishing you were with me I’m so glad you send pictures To show how beautifully you grow I'm so interested in you There's so much I want to know
Thank you for all the letters They always fill my heart From the emptiness I feel During the times that we're apart
Our relationship is unique No love can compare So don't be afraid I will always be there
From beginning to the end Whether near or far I love you so much Just for who you are
. . .
You’re my pride and joy You never fail to impress I deeply admire you For the qualities you possess Your beauty, your calm Your talkative charm Your delicate body Your eyes so warm You puffy lips Your slender chin Your perfect nose Your beauty within
Your thankful smile Your loving face Your tender kiss Your sweet embrace
Your dazzling performances When you dance and sing Your desired presence With all the joy you bring
Your outward elation Your subtle flirtation Your awarding dedication To your priceless education
All that you are Overwhelmingly true Adorable. Gifted. Thoughtful. You.
Please take to heart My humble rhyme For this special occasion I want to take the time To share all I feel In this poem so long Though my love runs deeper Than the length of this song
I treasure our relationship Our love is so sweet Though we're so open You're sometimes discrete
You tell me some secrets I wish you could share more I just want to be closer To the girl I adore
You can always trust me I always understand I am here for you Ready to lend a hand
So write me when you can I don't want to lose touch Of my favorite God-daughter Whom I love so much
That is why I see you Every year when I could To me you personify All that is good
So you take care Stay loving and kind Hugs and Kisses And please keep in mind
You’ll always be my favorite No matter what you do Remember, as you grow So does my love for you
Happy Birthday! |
