Oh Child of Mine…

My youngest daughter turned 22 on the 22nd of June, 2018. Due to the fact that I have kidney disease and am unable to work, I'm not the richest... what better gift than one from the heart...

You are now twenty-two

You’re growing in every way

You’ve come so far from age one

I see it every day

 

I am a proud mother

For the things that you have done

You are by far an accomplished person

And a very gifted one

 

I look far into the future

And see so much you’ll do

You’ve made many decisions

Ones that make you true

 

As you’ve struggled through your degree

You’ve put your all in all

I’m happy to say you are my child

And know short, you’ll never fall

 

I love you daughter with all my heart

From your birth until I die

You’ll always make me so very proud

You are the apple of my eye

 

 

On this day, your happy day

As you become more grown

I wish you happy birthday

As you spread the wings you’ve flown!

Happy Birthday to your daughter, congratulations on the level up! This poem was extremely sweet and full of love, nothing more beautiful than a mothers love for her child. This poem heals all the hurt in the world for just this moment I can read this and feel like everything is going to be okay. I loved this touching cute poem and I'm sure your daughter was over the moon when she read it. #blessed

Congrats to you Rebecca for having and raising such a wonderful daughter. Your love and pride show in every word of this glowingly beautiful poem. Lovely, lyrical verses with great cadence and rhyme. But most of all, your eloquent words are so pure and heartfelt. Great poem and Happy Birthday to your daughter- she is lucky to have a mom like you!

To see your child grow up and achieve is one of the most rewarding experiences a parent can wish for. With so much negative pressure these days, it takes a lot of determination to conquer those difficulties, both for the parents as well as the students.
Your tribute is an accolade to both of you.

Time flies...still feels like miles to go but standing right at the starting line....the feet which used to fit in smallest size of shoes now fits in the shoe size you wear!!
We kids grow up in front of our parents closest eyesight yet they get startled on our growing up so fast.....and may we'll also one day....
It's just came from heart like poem...true lovely read😊
