~ Happy Birthday to My Beautiful Daughter ~

Happy Birthday dear one,
The years certainly have flown by haven’t they?
Once you were cradled in my arms
And the next day
You’re grown and have moved away.

There isn’t a hour that goes by
When I do not think about you;
I ponder what you’re doing this very minute, and
I wonder if you are happy?
Have you found your station in life
And is it what you dreamed about
When you were a little girl?

You have a wonderful mind, and spirit,
You have drive, and fortitude,
You have compassion, and
You are not self-centered.
You are full of gratitude
when others are kind to you.

Whatever you set your mind to
You can not fail;
Above all, you have put God first in your life,
God can surely say to you,
“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

I am ever so thankful that you
Have permitted God to be your pilot.
