Gommy is going to share some thoughts about a wonderful daughter (my Tracey) with you today. I wrote these pieces a few years ago and came across them in my document file....but they are much more than documents to Gommy. Hope you enjoy them and they make you tell your own daughters how much they mean to you. Give them a big hug and kiss and let them know the depth of your love. It is the best gift you can give your children. I am Blessed. Thank you God...............Have a great life everyone!!!!
Time for my Daughter
She was so tiny, my bundle of joy,
A welcome addition to our first, a boy.
What did I do to deserve such perfection?
Those eyes, that hair and that velvet complexion!
She thinks I’m the greatest person of all,
Please let me live up to an order so tall.
I want to slow time so I’ll have her much longer,
But I know someday soon she’ll too start to wander.
Please keep her safe and happy and free,
And don’t disappoint her in all that she’ll be.
She trusts me to teach her only good things,
If I do my job, she can soar with those wings.
I thought time was endless but now I can see,
It went much too fast and how could that be?
If I had just known, I’d have savored each minute,
No rushing or cleaning or being the cynic.
I’d spend every second with her every day,
Not feeling the time I had squandered away.
The most wonderful times there ever would be,
In my life, my existence, if only I’d seen.
So let me enjoy her now that she’s grown,
A daughter turned friend, the theme of this poem.
I promise I’ll cherish each wonderful day,
And be happy I have her til’ my dying day.
BECAUSE OF YOU . . . .
