A Poem for my darling daughter Claire

I remember the day you were born, it feels like yesterday

I looked into your beautiful face, you took my breathe away

I promised to protect you and love you your whole life through

Because you are my daughter, it’s what mothers do.

~:~

You grew into a beautiful girl, always happy and never complained

Thoughtful and generous, a quality that’s remained

You went to College, and University too

Something, you always thought, you would never do

I knew you could do it and you did it in time

I coaxed you gently I knew you’d be fine

The years quickly passed you changed and matured

You knew what you wanted, a man you adored

~:~

You’ve grew into a woman that’s beautiful and kind

A daughter I’m proud of, and to say you are mine

You’re now fighting an illness that’s making you sick

But I’m standing with you, through the thin and the thick

You will get better, with patience and time

Trust your mother she says you’ll be fine

~:~

I wish it was me, I’d go through it all

To see you pain free , and you walking tall

There’s nothing I can do, but to nurse you and pray

And help you recover for your special day

~:~

Come 10th June you will walk down the aisle

And turn to your mother and give me a smile

And we will know we’d made it, we got through it all

You’re in your beautiful wedding gown and your walking tall

I know I will shed a tear, okay maybe a few

As you stand with your beloved to say I do.

~:~

Cause I’ll be the proud mother,

The mother of the bride

And I will be bursting, bursting with pride

The dark days will have gone, a distant memory

And you will be healthy and happy you’ll see

~:~

Cause you are a woman that’s beautiful and kind

A daughter I love and proud you are mine
