You amaze me !
You make me believe in God.
Because from the moment you first arrived,
In the moment you first opened your eyes
I saw in them
The wisdom of a thousand years and the innocence of knowing the world for only one minute.
And every moment since has been more
precious and I have been grateful.
You are a gift,
(And Though I have struggled)You make me believe in God.
Because there is no way that something so wonderful could have
come just from me!

( Your eyes though people say they are mine,
they are not
they are beautiful,they are hopeful
they sparkle with happiness and
they light up my world )

You are kind, good,wise beyond your years
and when you cry I want to drink your tears,
I want to drink up all that sorrow and
take it away.

I will be there for you always
though sometimes I may step back
Like in your younger days
In the store, when you wanted to explore
and I'd let you run away, always keeping you
in my sight yet where you couldn't see
but I'd always be there when you found that
you wanted me.

And when you have problems, I may not always fix them
but I will help you find the ways to.
So that you can see, that it is in you.
You need to know all the answers are in you.

Though I never want you to have your heart broken,
I want you to know, it can be fixed.
And if at times people don't see how
truly, deeply beautiful you are
(Pay them no mind_)
They are blind
Don't let them change you
don't let doubt creep in
Be yourself, stay in control
follow your soul.

Who you are
Is who you are meant to be.
You are not here to meet the expectations of others.
You can be a doctor, a truck driver, a waitress,
a musician, an artist, a pilot, an explorer
All or none of the above.
You could marry and have a family of your own
But you will always be my child
And I will always Love you
I will love you more that there are leaves on the trees, feathers
on birds, sand on the beach, drops
of rain on a wet wet day in Connemara.
I will love you for longer than it takes
for mountains to form and get worn away
And long after we are all gone, there will still be
a resonance where we've stood
of what I feel for you.

Anything in Brackets I am debating whether to include..
