My daughter's 18th birthday!

 

18 is an age,
When life has just begun,
When the person inside you..
Feels obliged to be present in everything fun

You know yourself well,
But yet you desire
To know things around you …
Everything hot in your dictionary equals to fire

Silently your body grows while you’re asleep,
You want to claim the world,
You’re so eager to leap

The world is awaiting the reveal of the woman of depth that is in you…
Oh my daughter you will conquer some heights ,
But life will make you experience dips too

Nothing in life is impossible to do,
Nothing or no one should ever make you ashamed of you

You carry your identity,
That’s unique .. it’s true
You’re unique and special
Just one in the world.. who’s you!!

Your mother I became and learnt to laugh loud,
Coming second in our home 
Who you’re becoming makes me proud!

Yes, we fight and bully me you do
But my darling little princess,
I’m on this roller coaster ride ..
With you!

Come back to being a baby,
Sometimes I may indulge you,
The baby you were was so naughty and cute…
Close my eyes and she takes the place of the adult who’s now you.
