From ten little fingers
And ten little toes
You grew in grace
To become my Samantha Rose
Voice of an angel
So gentle and sweet
Before you were born
My life was incomplete
Like the flower you were named for
I watched you blossom and bloom
The time went too fast
Graduation came too soon
But the time has come
For you to dream, wish and create
Keep believing in magic and yourself
And make this life of yours great
Always be strong
Always be caring
And even though it’s scary
Be a little bit daring
Keep marching to your own beat
Never care what others say
I know who you are
And you’re perfect this way
My little baby red bird
You are no more
And so with a tweet, tweet, tweet
I let you go to explore
You may be all grown
Ready to take on the world
But forever and always
You’ll be my little girl
an original poem by Jenny Dee
