IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYES
High heels just a wee bit big
Skirts dusting the floor
Hat so big it hides her face
How could you love her more
in my daughter's eyes
Using Mommy's makeup
Cheeks so pink they glow
Earrings dangle from her ears
She thinks they'll never know
in my daughter's eyes
Lots of perfume she has sprayed
All upon herself and clothes
Would be the first thing that arrived
No matter where she goes
in my daughter's eyes
Stumbles as she walks in heels
Lipstick put on bold and red
Tries to show the tendrils
Neath hat that covers little head
in my daughter's eyes
Must have makeup for the eyes
Perhaps more than she should
She stands back, surmises
In the mirror - looking good
in my daughter's eyes
Decides to wear more jewelry
Sprays a little more perfume
Another look in mirror - smiles
Then leaves her Mommy's room
in my daughter's eyes
Who'll be the first to see her
Will they notice her at all
Has to steady self again
High heels can make you fall
in my daughter's eyes
Feeling very grownup now
Wearing all her Mommy's things
She just loves her Mommy so
Thinks maybe she has wings
in my daughter's eyes
Ah! She hears a whisper
And a giggle too, she's sure
Could it be her Mommy
Seeing her trying to be her
in my daughter's eyes
From out of nowhere there she is
A thing that Mommy's do so well
With such a look of love on face
She knows somehow Mommy will tell
in my daughter's eyes
Yes, tis their little story
That her Mommy will ne'er forget
As she looks at daughter small
She has not one regret
in my daughter's eyes
Bond between the two, you see
Like none ever felt before
Mommy looks at her and sighs
I could not love you more
in your Mommy's eyes

Written for my oldest daughter's birthday. Taking a walk
down Memory Lane with you Vicki. I am proud of you and
love you so very much. As I have said before, I don't know
what I'd do without you - you and Debbie have been my
lifelines and I love you both so very much. Happy Birthday
Vicki...
With love,
Mama ^j^
