Daughter...
you look at me
and I see
in your face
child.... 

In your shy, dimpled smile
and your smooth, crystal skin.
The girl you are
speaks to me....
In your unbent enthusiasm
and your whirling, twirling ways.

And yet
I see
shades of the woman
you will become....

In the gentle curve
of your cheek
and the sage knowing
in your eyes.

There are
both
woman and child
in you, daughter of mine....

And my heart
is yours.

To SMG on Valentine's Day 2008.  I love you more than the air I breath.  Mama
