Dear Daughter -- sometimes I wonder what will you be...

Oh little girl


What will you grow up to be?

Will you be a doctor or a lawyer, maybe?



My little girl

Will you be the vet you dream of today?

Will you save the world, or take over companies?



My beautiful girl

What will you bring to the world?

Will you solve puzzles or paint the moon and stars?



My smart girl

Take your time

Earn your knowledge

And stand up for those in need



My little girl

 go to school today

And learn those lessons well



but time will pass, my little one

And you will grow , and become

All that you are destined to be



My little girl

So full of love

You bring brightens to this world



Oh little girl

What will you grow up to be?

A pilot, an artist, a cook or  a chef maybe?

It doesn’t at all matter to me.


For inside your heart,

You have love to share

And that is what we all need here.




not the best poem, but today for my little girl :)

Love it! I spend so many hours wondering where my kids will end up in life that I have to remind myself sometimes to step back and enjoy them RIGHT NOW!
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
