To My Daughter


To My Daughter, I love you so, you are so special, I hope you know. With every day that passes by, you're more the twinkle in my eye. So loving, so giving, a heart of gold, always my baby, even when I'm old. Your love shines through, for all to see, I feel so proud, you are a part of me, I love so much.

“The expression in her eyes was bitter as nightshade. 'You ask me about regret? Let me tell you a few things about regret, my darling. There is no end to it. You cannot find the beginning of the chain that brought us from there to here. Should you regret the whole chain, and the air between, or each link separately, as if you could uncouple them? Do you regret the beginning which ended so badly, or just the ending itself? I've given more thought to this question than you can begin to imagine.” ~ Janet Fitch

“Of course mothers and daughters with strong personalities might see the world from very different points of view.” ~Katherine Howe
