Today was the day you turned 5
I cried and cried
Today was the day I realized just how much you've grown
wow..time sure has flown
Today was the day of your kindergarden graduation..
I hope you understand why I had to miss it..
Today was the day your life was gonna change...I'm sorry
I wasn't there to hold your hand.. I couldn't get around it.
I'm sorry I know just how cruel life can be...
Today was the day you learned to ride a bike..
I only wish I could have taught you...
Today was the day you started 6th grade
I only wish I could have taken you...
but by now I'm sure you under stand.
Today was the day you started high school..
I'm sorry I wasnt there for the hug..
but I'll get it one day thou
Today was the day of your 1st date
I always knew you liked him..
I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to the young man...
Today was the day of your sweet 16
I bet you can almost hear 'Butterfly kisses' or smell
the chocolate chip pankakes..I'm sorry I didn't get to
make them this time...
Today was the day you turned 21
...wow..
I remember when you were born my sweet little baby
Today was the day my little girl was finally married..
my only regret was not giving you away..
Today was the day your life is totally gonna change..
your first little girl..there are not many in this family..
so take good care of her
I love you both now. Then & forever.
