18 Years

18 years of joy
Of happiness and excitement too,
18 years of love and laughter
In one enjoyable you.
You are my darling daughter
My precious baby girl,
I adore your green-blue eyes
And every single curl.
You have my sense of humor
And your daddy’s strength of will,
You are very independent
With a multitude of skill.
You have a tender heart,
It’s as warm as the sun,
You have a flair for art
And a knack for a good pun.
I love you, love you, love you
You are my daughter from end to end,
I love you, love you, love you
You are my sunshine and my friend.
