No one will ever know
How much you really mean
I'd give my life for you
As I'm sure by now you've seen
We've lived as two individuals
But grown together as one
Our differences are enormous
Our similarities are enchanting
We started out as mother and infant
Our bond was formed
Solid, strong and true
I missed you while you lived with your dad
I'm secretly glad it didn't work out
I'm proud that I was strong enough to let you try
Overjoyed that you ended up back by my side
I've watched you grow
You're so much older now
Older than you need to be
Try and slow down
Lighten up sometimes
You're such a serious young adult
It's hard to see
I can look at you now and still see the little girl smiling with worms back at me
I can look at you now and see you as you'll one day be
Smarter, prettier, wiser than me
I'm proud to call you mine
Grateful you came into my life
I wouldn't want it any other way
Remember I love you more and more each and everyday
