I sit here and watch

You grow day by day

And I often wonder

The words that I’ll say

What tidbits of wisdom

Will I impart

Will I remember

To share my heart

I plan to be there

To teach you to drive

To help you reach for

The goals that you strive

The day that you marry

I want to be there

To witness the joy

Of the love that you share

But until that day comes

I hope that you know

How much you are loved

Each day as you grow.
