Happy Birthday My Princess

Five years ago you were placed in my arms

A pink screaming bundle

One look at your beautiful face

Made me an emotional muddle

The first year flew by so fast

All I remember is a pinky haze

Of endless feeding and dirty diapers

And me walking around in a sleepy daze

Then you turned a bubbly One

And started chattering and walking

There was me on all fours

Trying to keep you from falling

Ah, then came the terrible twos

Where tantrums were a daily ritual

How I wanted to tear my hair

I think the feeling was mutual

Then my darling turned three

Where I gave a big old sigh

Hoping and praying that

the end of tantrums were drawing nigh

Four brought about such a change

A sweet and gentle angel you became

Hair band, bangles and pretty pink shoes

All became part of the game

Happy B’day my princess

Today you turned five

You are my pride and joy

One of the reasons I am glad I’m alive

I love you with all my heart

And hope all your little wishes come true

That you’ll grow up to be a kind and wonderful soul

Is my wish for you…
