I see before my eyes a little lady,
\nNow being held by the hand.
\nBut soon she will be like her mother,
\nAnd grow up to\u00a0\u00a0be a strong woman.<\/p>\n
Her world is filled with Barbie’s and ballerina’s,
\nMake believe and tea parties are were also oa blast.
\nSoon make up and clothes will win her over,
\nWhile boys and parties are not to be outdone.<\/p>\n
Another challenge is driving and cars,
\nGraduation and college are around the corner.
\nShe is looking toward a bright future,
\nWhile wishing the fun didn’t have to end.<\/p>\n
She is now dealing with endless papers and tests,
\nThese deadlines are met with groans of distress.
\nHer graduation day has come once again,
\nSo, she can come out at the top of her class.<\/p>\n
Today, her job as a successful teacher,
\nHas led her down a chosen road.
\nThe path is rewarding, yet taxing at times,
\nAlthough, she loves everything and everyone.<\/p>\n
Retirement will soon be knocking at her door,
\nWith many dreams and hopes to renew.
\nContinue to guide and inspire her,
\nThere goes a woman with much left to do.<\/p>\n
