Daughter Birthday

When the chips are down and help is needed We know where to turn if love is heeded For a daughter like you is rare indeed That fulfils that love, fulfils that need. We've seen you grow, we've seen you fight, To know the difference between wrong and right We're proud as punch to call you ours And we love it when you bring us flowers. Another birthday comes then goes, Another line in your life of prose Where couplets do not always rhyme Where music is not always in time. But hey! That's life and didn't we warn yer That surprises lurk round every corner. And sometimes it's better to go with the flow Than stick to all the things you know. So daughter dear have no fear For like it or not we'll always be near; In your heart and in your soul Part of us all, part of the whole.
