    This is a poem that my mum used to write on my bithday cards and I now write on my daughters!

    A daughters amazing, yes right from the start
    Although shes not tall she can sure reach your heart
    She goes through the giggles and grows into grace
    And in all of the world, there is no sweeter face
    Then all at once, with a sparkling surprise
    your girl has grown up, right under your eyes
    Shes dreams that came true from the moment of birth
    And more precious than all of the treasures on earth!
    I think its great!
