there's a smile when I look at you

that no one else can see

it's a special connection

between you and me

it comes from your heart

and goes right to mine

it's your soul's acknowledgment of joy

and for what my ticker does pine

others may get your gleeful grin

on any given day

but nothing quite compares

to how you love your mama in this way

it's a special relationship

between a mama and her gal

it's the kind that incomparable

and has me thanking God for this forever pal

i love you my sweet daughter

all day and overnight

for you and your siblings

i pray I will always be your light

for whatever path you take

for whatever comes your way

i will be right next to you and loving you

every

damn

day
