My daughter is wise
Her thoughts are unique,
My daughter is witty
Her remarks “tongue-in-cheek”!
My daughter is clever
Her achievements abound
My daughter is destined
To cover much ground.
My daughter’s courageous
She’s had many a trial,
But my daughter’s determined
With her own special style.
My daughter she’s stubborn,
With a mind all her own,
She’s sometimes unwilling
To let her point go!
My daughter’s athletic,
She’s a very strong swimmer
Whatever her activity
My daughter is a winner.
My daughter she is sensitive,
When she’s hurt the hurt remains
My daughter is creative
In the way she hides the pain.
My daughter is methodical
In the way she’s planned her life,
At times it seems mechanical
As she’s left no room for strife!
My daughter’s an achiever
In all she says and does
Sometimes I can’t believe her
Outright commitment to her cause.
My daughter’s a kaleidoscope
With its colours bright and bold
All her facets ever-changing
Who knows what her future holds.
There’s one thing of which I’m certain though,
As the seasons turn and shift –
That no matter how far apart we are
My daughter, she’s my gift.
~ Written a long time ago for Kez – the daughter of my heart. She has since travelled extensively, attained many of her goals and is striving for the rest. I shall always be very proud of her, and thankful to her other Mum, Karen for bringing her into my life.
