“Life doesn’t come with a Manual – it comes with a Mother
Life doesn’t come with Angels – it comes with a Daughter”
Oh my reflection, I am here for you
Life is tough darling, but so are you!
You will outgrow my lap, but never my heart
Being your mother has been, quite an art!
My little wanderer, your eyes full of adventure
You are little tornado but also my thirst quencher
Before it begins, you heal my pain
I want you as my daughter, time and again
I wish you love, I wish you laughter
Oh my reflection, no sorrows there after
The day you come face to hurdles
Remember our talks and snuggly cuddles
Fight the demons and win your battle
Face them in the eye and don’t be a tattle
I will hold your hands until I breathe
The day I am gone, you have to be on your feet
You are my heart, you are my soul
The source of my smile, my happiness as a whole
Keep shining oh beautiful one, and fly like a kite
I will be your shadow now, later you be my light
Oh my reflection, I am here for you
Life is tough darling, but so are you!
Miles to go Before I sleep
