Blessing To My Daughter Poem by Kim Hilliker

I remember when my daughter was born,
She had such an adorable face
She was the best companion ever, so
I dragged her all over the place
She had the kindest spirit I'd ever known
And courage like that of a lion
She was so smart that she breezed through
School without ever really tryin'
Graced with looks, brains and personality,
I knew that even the sky would be no limit.
She could do whatever she wanted and
Choose her fate which ever way she'd spin-it
Now, my BabyGirl is married with a baby of her own
I ponder where the time went and how it is she's grown
It's more than empty nest syndrome
Now that she is gone-
I've lost the best part of me,
but I have to carry on
When I hear her sweet, sweet voice,
Although it's miles away,
I proudly pretend my BabyGirl
Is close to me that day
And when reality hits me as,
Of course, it always does
I reminisce our days together and
The way it always was
Then, I smile and cry simultaneously
Because our time just didn't last,
And I inwardly bless my daughter
For every moment of our past.
