There’s Something About a Daughter

There’s something about a daughter…
A connection… an ability to relate unlike any other.
I guess it is because we are so much alike
And yet, we are so very different.
You are your own person and you always have been.
I am learning, by your example,
To be my own person too.

I have tried to model unconditional love
Acceptance of differences
Tolerance

I have tried to teach you
To care for yourself first
So that you will have resources to draw from
And can share yourself with others.

I have tried to show you
That caring is better than indifference
Love is better than hate
Spirit is always with you
And life is a magnificent adventure.
I have encouraged you
To find your dreams and follow them with passion.

All these things I wanted to share with you
Because I love you so much
And will always urge you
To make the most of the time you have here.

I see you doing so many of these things already
And I am deeply impressed with your inner strength,
Your courage, your humor and intelligence...
And all the lessons you learned at such a young age.
You have a bright future in front of you, my love
And I will be here to support you
Encourage you
Laugh and cry with you
And be your biggest cheerleader.

Most of all I will love you
Forever and for always.
