21. As The Years Go By

Poet Introduction
- By Tani Montee
- Published: January 2016 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem Celebrating Each Birthday

For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.

I closed my eyes, and you were one,

For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.

I closed my eyes, and you were one,
And my love for you had grown brighter than the sun.

My heart skipped a beat when you turned two.
You were getting so big! What was I to do?

On the day that you turned three,
I gave you a baby brother to share with me.

It seemed like in no time you were four,
And when you looked at me with love, my heart would soar.

All too quickly, you turned five.
You would soon start school and leave me behind.

While gaining your independence, you turned six,
But there are still things you need me to fix.

It was not easy watching you turn seven.
You are a gift from God, sent straight from Heaven.

I will shed a tear as you turn eight,
And thank the Lord for making you my fate.

Another year gone, and now you're nine.
It's going too fast. I wish I could turn back time.

Time keeps moving, and you grow into ten.
If only we could go back to one again.

God smiles upon you as you turn eleven.
He is saving you a place up in Heaven.

Twelve comes so quickly, and you go to middle school.
Your world is so different, and now I'm not so cool.

You welcome thirteen, but my little girl I will miss.
It was in this year that you got your first kiss.

I hold my breath as you turn fourteen,
A more beautiful young lady I have never seen.

Fifteen comes and takes fourteen away,
"Please keep her safe," to God I pray.

At sixteen, you can finally drive,
I wish it was still your Barbie Jeep when you were just five.

Turning seventeen, there's not much time,
The mountain of your youth you've almost climbed.

Eighteen comes in the blink of an eye,
And as you close this chapter, I'll try my best not to cry.

I've loved you forever, or so it seems.
I first met you when I was young, in my dreams.

You are everything I ever hoped for and more.
I'm excited to see what God has in store.

22. My Beautiful College Girl

Poet Introduction
- By Lydia Dillingham
- Published: January 2016 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Letting Your Daughter Grow Up

Love's force swells my heart
Until it feels tender and bruised.
I look at my daughter and see myself reflected in her face.
My bones, my flesh and blood run through her.

Love's force swells my heart
Until it feels tender and bruised.
I look at my daughter and see myself reflected in her face.
My bones, my flesh and blood run through her.

She loves me deeply, but she does not know
The longing of a mother's heart, the fierceness of this kind of love, the fears.
She will not know until she hears that wailing first cry of life
Born from her own womb.

I watch her meander towards the gateway,
Where she nonchalantly steps in and out of childhood
And in and out of my life.
My arms long to pull her back.

She leaves again,
Stepping through, then rushing away,
Carrying my heart,
And each time, my silent tears flow heavy with nostalgia.

My soul's consolation
Is the fresh view of the world that I see through her eyes
And the feel of my blood pounding through her veins
As she picks up her pace.

I watch her and can taste my youth,
But it is only a taste,
For I cannot follow her there.
It is her path to run.

It is the most bittersweet thing I know,
This feeling of letting go.

Touching Poem To A Daughter Going Out On Her Own

When I first held you in my arms,
You were so perfect and so small.
You are a full-grown woman now;
And I am proud, oh how!

When I first held you in my arms,
You were so perfect and so small.
You are a full-grown woman now;
And I am proud, oh how!

I saw you change throughout the years,
With awe and fascination.
To think that you will soon leave home-
It's a strange sensation.

No matter where you may end up,
Close to home or far away,
Know that I will always pray
For your happiness and luck.

I pray your dreams may all come true.
I pray you may be happy.
I pray your heartaches may be few
And your blessings many.

When you need some good advice
Or just a listening ear,
Dad and I will always make time
For your problems to hear.

You are talented, beautiful, and bright;
I know you will do well in life.
You've got what it takes to succeed,
And God will help you when in need.

One last thing I want to say:
No matter your age,
No matter where you go,
No matter what you do,
You are my girl,
And I will always love you!

24. Who Is She?
- By Kyle J. Underwood
- Published: November 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Ode To Daughter

She's a soft cool rain on a hot summer's day.
She makes me laugh with the funny things she has to say.

She's the beat of my heart and the air that I breathe.

She's a soft cool rain on a hot summer's day.
She makes me laugh with the funny things she has to say.

She's the beat of my heart and the air that I breathe.
She's the sun and the wind and autumn's golden leaves.

She's the pride that I feel when I know she's done what's right.
She's that warm feeling I get when I remember tucking her in at night.

She is homework and sports and a busy social life.
She has this beautiful smile that could light the darkest night.

She is the scared feeling I have when she stays out late.
Or the feeling that I am losing her when she wants to date.

She's the mixed emotions I have, as I watch her mature and grow.
I tell myself she will never leave, but I know in my heart that someday she will go.

I hope the man that steals her heart will treat her like a queen
Because she deserves so much more than a man that treats her mean.

I will always cherish the wonderful times we have had.
The best part of my life was being her dad.

So now you know who she is, she's my little girl.
I love her with all my heart and I always will.

To: Alexandra
From: Dad

25. Between A Mother And A Daughter

You are in my thoughts every step of my way.
Although you are grown and far away,
I know when you're happy or having a bad day.
Just being your mom, I know your way.

You are in my thoughts every step of my way.
Although you are grown and far away,
I know when you're happy or having a bad day.
Just being your mom, I know your way.
I remember the days when you
Would gaze out our window, enjoying the view.
The nightly ritual, forever in my head
of a piggy-back ride, on your way to bed.
I wish, so often, for a moment with you
Not sharing this time with all that you do.
Although, I understand and truly care;
I still wish to reach out and just stroke your hair.
There are times when I wish for a hug and a kiss;
perhaps I just need to tell you all this.

Poem About Being Proud To Have Daughter

my daughter is very special,
kind and very true.
If you've ever met her,
I'm sure you'd think so too.

my daughter is very special,
kind and very true.
If you've ever met her,
I'm sure you'd think so too.

She has the smile
that lights up her face.
It doesn't matter where she goes,
she's liked in every place.

Very quiet and gentle too,
with people young or old,
animals feel secure with her,
warm and comfy in her hold.

If I thought she were an angel,
sent down from up above,
I couldn't feel any luckier than now,
I've got her forever to love.

I'm proud to have her as my daughter,
prouder than anyone could ever know.
I've written her this poem
just to tell her I love her so!

Poem Promising To Love Daughter No Matter What

To my little girl
Precious as a pearl
We've had our ups and downs
We've even gone a few rounds

To my little girl
Precious as a pearl
We've had our ups and downs
We've even gone a few rounds
No matter what you do
I'll never stop loving you
No matter how rough life may get
You should always live with no regrets
And now it will not be long
And you, too, will have to be strong
Soon your little girl will arrive
She will make you feel so alive
Her little fingers, her tiny toes
All baby girls have wings and halos
So don't let other people get you down
Just because her skin will be brown
So hold your head high
And walk right on by
Because God and I love you both
This is our oath!

28. What Is A Daughter
- By Jack
- Published: May 2008 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
She's a joy, she's an angel - well that's what she thinks
She clings on to your heart like a plug to a sink
She drives you all crazy with make believe games
She'll have you believe that fairies fly planes

She's a joy, she's an angel - well that's what she thinks
She clings on to your heart like a plug to a sink
She drives you all crazy with make believe games
She'll have you believe that fairies fly planes

She often comes in with imaginary friends
And can draw on her dad with permanent pens
She has pretty parties with dolls as her mates
But then runs straight out and she swings on the gate

She listens to stories of love and romance
Then shoves a live frog in her best friend's pants
At night when asleep the angels go quiet
I often do think that she could start a riot

She looks like a princess all said and done
And uses mum's lipstick to draw a big sun
All over the walls and down the settee
Her face is alive and she giggles with glee

It's then that you have to be strong and quite firm
For if you stand back she will never quite learn
And learn things she does most every day
She learns how to get things her very own way

She came into your life and captured your heart
And then from that time you won't stay apart
You may keep your son till he finds a good wife
But your daughter's your daughter for all of her life

Not even knowing why,

Until your tears run dry.

I wish that I could make you happy
All the times that you are sad,
To make you laugh and see you smile
And tell you life's not really bad.

You're my special "Little Girl"
Whom I love with all my heart.
I'm always going to be here for you
Just like I have been from the start.

Advice For Raising A Daughter

Encircle your child with love
Offer your hand to guide her
Shower her with tenderness
Shelter away her fears

Encircle your child with love
Offer your hand to guide her
Shower her with tenderness
Shelter away her fears

May she look for sunshine when
There seems to be clouds
May she take a step further to
Find the best in people and life

May she show kindness and patience
Towards others
May confidence and poise propel
Her in life

Teach her appreciation for small
Things in life
The abundance of nature close at
Her feet

Help her to learn the power of
Words spoken
The response to actions which
Might be awakened

Shower her with your love and
Your pride
Protect her as needed, but let
Her fly free
Free to stand tall with absolute
Dignity

As she grows and discovers
Keep memories keen
For times in the future
When she flies free

Remember too as she grows to
Be a woman
She's a reflection of yourself
A reflection of the joy, kindness,
And dignity
A reflection of a woman set free
To pass down her teachings
From no other than thee.

Poem To A Daughter Wishing Her The Best In Life

The light of my life,
The joy who is so full of life,

The only one in the world to me,

The light of my life,
The joy who is so full of life,

The only one in the world to me,
Who reminds me that she loves me,

The one who always greets me so happily,
Hugs me and kisses me so joyfully,

I hope there will never come a day,
That you tell me you are going away,

I hope that you will always be healthy,
Happy, joyful, and wealthy,

Even when you become an old lady,
Remember that you will always be my baby

I am sorry if I was ever mad,
Just to think of it makes me so sad,

If I was ever restless with you,
Short-tempered or tasteless with you,

When I am not there someday,
Remember my spirit will guide your way,

Keeping you away from any harm,
Insuring your health and charm.

Your laugh, your smile, your eyes so blue,
all the things that make you, you.

Will one day grow so big and tall,
but for now you're ours, you little doll.

35. Roses And Butterflies

Poet Introduction
- By Pamela Theobald Debelli
- Published: November 2015 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem About Raising Daughter Alone

"At last! I've finally found happiness," she said.
Roses and butterflies danced in her head.
No more sadness, heartache, or pain,
For this man will make her whole again.

"At last! I've finally found happiness," she said.
Roses and butterflies danced in her head.
No more sadness, heartache, or pain,
For this man will make her whole again.

Shortly thereafter this couple would know
That their family of two was about to grow.
"This was not in my plan," he'd told her before.
"No problem," she said. "Our baby needs me more."

Through diapers, training wheels, and braces she grew,
First boyfriend, driving, and graduation, too.
Which college to go to? It was such a hard call!
"I know," said my baby. "I'll apply to them all!"

Two years have gone by now.
My baby has grown.
It's hard to imagine,
She's now on her own.

My place in her life now has changed, I must say.
It's anyone's guess, I just go day by day.

Will she need me? I wonder.
Will she know that I care?
I hope she remembers that I'll always be there.

Through good times and bad times
I hope that she knows
I'll always be with her
Wherever she goes.

Sitting alone in my room,

The more I sit and think,

Your smile radiates warmth,

You're my life, my everything.
And things look clearer because
I know I have your love...

Light Of My Life Poem

When my daughter walks into a room
All you can do is smile
Her happy little face can take away any gloom
Her chubby little cheeks

When my daughter walks into a room
All you can do is smile
Her happy little face can take away any gloom
Her chubby little cheeks
And her big bright eyes
Always seem to take away my sorrows and sighs
She loves to play outside
In the sun or the rain
She never worries about the weather
Or if she falls and is in pain
She loves her cartoons
And to listen and dance to music
She loves it at night to sit and stare at the moon
My daughter is always on the go
She never wants to rest
Which is easy to see why
Her room is always a mess.
She loves her grandma most
Sometimes I think more than she loves her toast
She loves to color and draw
And help me with my chores
And to go shopping at different stores
My daughter is the love of my life
I love every minute of my day
When my daughter comes to sit and play
