If I ever had a daughter,
I'd want one just like you.
You remind me of myself sometimes,
But you're smart and feisty too.
There's tenderness behind your spunk.
There's warmth in all you touch.
I thank God that I met you,
Since I love you very much.
You always tell me what you think,
Not what I want to HEAR,
And when I need to know the truth,
You always have my ear.
You take my side when I am right,
And don't mind who dissents.
You're one tough lady when there's cause
You stand and don't relent.
But somewhere deep inside you
There's the soft spot that I've learned
Makes you the warm affecionate soul
Who let's herself get burned.
I pray for you now daily
That God will hold you close.
I want for you the best in life
The dreams that you want most.
You're special and I know it
Though oft' times YOU think not.
You're tied to me deep in my heart
In a maternal, loving knot.
Take care today of all you do.
Here's the message that I send...
No matter what, you ARE the best,
I'll love you 'til the end.
Author's Notes/Comments:
From one redneck to another--I love you, girl.
THANK YOU! You know I love you, too! I thank the Good Lord for your son every day! If it weren't for him, I'd missed meeting a true friend!
I love you!
Jess, How lucky you are to be able to recognize and enjoy the true friendship of another and to be able to express your feelings about them. You honor yourself in honoring them. Later, Joyce/Spanky
