Happy birthday to my daughter

Happy Birthday Holly Jean And on the day December 10, 1982
God blessed me with you, Holly
and my life has never been the same.
your entrance into the world was not an easy one for you
or for me, born with pneumonia from swallowing
the fluid, and ingesting it into your lungs,
I was not able to hold you, but to my joy,
and comfort to us both, I was allowed to hold
your tiny hand, through a hole in the incubator,
you were determined and so strong, and the day
the nurse told me I could hold you in my arms
was a truly happy day for me!!!! What a miracle you are
right from the start!!!
I am so grateful for the beautiful daughter you are
for your kind heart, for your laughter, and your voice
the way you look at life, and the way you look at love
and now, the way you look at your daughter, as I looked at
you in your infancy, with wonder and amazement.
What a loving mother you are, and a wonderful wife to your
husband. I am so tenderly touched, by everything I know of
you. I am so grateful for everything you share with me,
about your life. And the words you wrote to me, as a young
child, I write back to you on your birthday, and they are forever written on my heart.........
I love you so much, I never let you off my mind
