Happy Birthday Karla ;0)

As parents we all can hope That our children will succeed Not with materials Or paths of gold Or perhaps to look after us when we are old That is not what children are for They are here A gift from nature Not from God To live on the planet Experiences gained Life goes around I see her smiling gleefully Excitement beyond the pale Chewing on a piece of toast as slever Soaked her chest I see her as she toddled Finding the world In a new school uniform Cute and alert I see her as she sings A nightingale would be pleased I see her as she listens To Mr York and Co The highs and the lows Creeping and weird Musically guided Eclectic and intelligent Beautiful too We love her as much as we do the others But as old as she gets Our hearts fill with joy Our eldest Our daughter Who knows not her worth In time she will see Why she came here to spend time with us  Here on this earth Happy birthday wee darlin
