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…
