My Daughter and her Sweet Pea.....

Today I excitedly went to the doctor with my daughter Patricia to see the ultrasound of her

"Lil Sweet Pea". While watching the thumb sucking, hand moving, feet kicking, and the beating heart of her baby inside of her I remembered about a poem my own Mother had given to me so very long ago.....

A Tribute to All Daughters

Every home should have a daughter, for there’s nothing like a girl
To keep the world around her in one continuous whirl…
From the moment she arrives on earth, and on through womanhood,
A daughter is a female who is seldom understood…
One minute she is laughing, and the next she starts to cry,
Man just can’t understand her and there is just no use to try…
She is soft and sweet and cuddly, but she is also wise and smart,
She is a wondrous combination of a mind and brain and heart…

And even in her her baby days she's just a born coquette,
And anything she really wants she manages to get…
For even at a tender age she uses all her wiles
And she can melt the hardest heart with the sunshine of her smiles…
She starts out as a rosebud with her beauty unrevealed,
Then through a happy childhood her petals are unsealed…
She’s soon a sweet girl graduate, and then a blushing bride,
And then a lovely woman as the rosebud opens wide…
And some day in the future, if it be God’s gracious will,
She, too, will be a Mother and know that reverent thrill
That comes to every Mother whose heart is filled with love
When she beholds the “angel” that God sent her from above…
And there would be not life at all in this world or the other
Without a darling daughter who, in turn, becomes a Mother!

Hello Sweet Pea...I cannot wait to meet you in person!!!!
