Sometimes I can feel you growing,
just to be clear I’m speaking figuratively not literally.
I can see your soft ivory skin, your freckle kissed face, and bright blue eyes
that reflect the sun with whim and adventure,
my beautiful baby girl.
When you join my years from now i’ll build you up like a mountain.
I’m going to make you everything I wasn’t,
confident.
I’m going to teach and achieve, and help bring you up to be you
and you will be the best you can be.
I will teach you to smile at your failures rather than weeping
because failures are what make you human.
You’ll be strong willed with the confidence to let people know bit.
The most important thing I’ll teach you is love.
You’ll grow and grow and grow filling your head and heart with more.
More love for yourself
because you are YOU
and you are beautiful.
More love for people of all sort because we all matter and we all deserve to be loved.
And more love for yourself.
You will probably end up with some of my weaknesses
i’m sorry for that,
yet i’m not sorry enough to really mean it because  weaknesses don’t make you weak,
they make you human.
You, my wonderful daughter will grow into a beautiful woman
in more ways than you can count.
You will be intelligent, not by how much you’ve learned in school
but because you will be filled with kindness, passion, and love
and that is something no one can teach.
Your internal beauty will overflow and seep threw your pours making your external beauty just as beautiful as your internal beauty.
