My Young Lass ( Dedicated to my elder daughter)

She made me a mother

For the first time when she was born 

She became the apple of my eyes

And soon changed from a cygnet to a swan. 

She's  the wind behind my sails

And my closest friend 

She gives me strength 

And keeps me going during any stress.

She's fiercely protective of her own

She's turned into a lovely lady 

With a heart of gold 

We depend on her for all that we do. 

She's my most prized possession

She's my life

She's a rare diamond 

My dear firstborn.
