Daughters are special people, Lots of things rolled into one. Great big balls of pleasure, Just loads and tons of fun. However, it goes much deeper, She becomes your very best friend. You see parts of yourself in her, On her you can truly depend. She knows when you don't feel good, Mom are you alright? She knows when you have a problem, She sees it with her sight. She knows when you are blue, She makes you crack a smile. She knows when you don't want to talk, She gives you a break for a while. She knows just what you like, She protects you all the time. If she sees something you don't like, She shapes things back in line. If you are upset it's alright, She treats you like her best friend. She asks if she can help, She listens till the bitter end. But still it goes even further, She begins to teach "you" things. You stand in awe and amazement, This tremendous joy she brings. You have long talks together, Her pride and wisdom show. You know how proud you are, The road was long, sometimes slow. She goes beyond when she was.. Your bundle of joy... To this wonderfully magical friend, She is your shining image. Forever till the very end!!! Sally Matheson June 14 2001 Poem - Artwork - Music   Used with permission.  1999-2008
