Here is a poem I wrote for my daughters in honour of their 6th birthday.
Sugar and spice and all things nice
that's what little girls are made of
And I must include Thing 1 and Thing 2's secret for being so loved
They flash me their smiles and I'd walk 10 miles uphill, barefoot in the snow...
To tell them what light they've shone in my life and how proud I am as they grow
And now they are six and I cannot fix the speed at which time has gone by
Instead I embrace each inch of their face and wonder with a sigh...
Will they be fulfilled with a life full of thrills and be proud of who they become?
My wish is this (it's my checklist) for Emma and Madison
Embrace each day, make time for play, stand up for what you believe in.
Jump in with both feet, march to your own beat, if something is wrong take action.
Be choosy with friends, call your mum (again) and to thine own self be true.
And know in your heart we'll never be apart for I will always love you.
