The world is full of people
who search for eternal youth
Buying into lies
to avoid the ultimate truth
But, I have my own little secret
and it's kept within my heart
a picture book of memories
more precious , and with dignity
than any expensive vanity
You see it is simplicity

For when I speak to you
it takes me back in time
to the me I once knew
A little girl with dreams
and precious schemes
Someone who could
do anything
be anyone
lived her life just for fun
A life that had yet begun

When I give you a gentle embrace
All over again I see that little face
And remember all the good times
I even remember my very first rythm
I can't believe how fast time flies
and now I have my own little ones
with those big dreams in their eyes
And I share with them the fairytales
That you passed on to me

Thank you for the memories
and life lessons learned
Thank you for keeping me young
For saving the little girl
carefully in your heart
For walking with me down life's trail
For always loving me
through trimph or fail...

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!
