I remember when my daughter was born,
She had such an adorable face
She was the best companion ever, so
I dragged her all over the place
She had the kindest spirit I'd ever known
And courage like that of a lion
She was so smart that she breezed through
School without ever really tryin'
Graced with looks, brains and personality,
I knew that even the sky would be no limit.
She could do whatever she wanted and
Choose her fate which ever way she'd spin-it
Now, my BabyGirl is married with a baby of her own
I ponder where the time went and how it is she's grown
It's more than empty nest syndrome
Now that she is gone-
I've lost the best part of me,
but I have to carry on
When I hear her sweet, sweet voice,
Although it's miles away,
I proudly pretend my BabyGirl
Is close to me that day
And when reality hits me as,
Of course, it always does
I reminisce our days together and
The way it always was
Then, I smile and cry simultaneously
Because our time just didn't last,
And I inwardly bless my daughter
For every moment of our past.
'Then, I smile and cry simultaneously Because our time just didn't last, And I inwardly bless my daughter For every moment of our past.' - I also feel the same way about my grand daughter who has migrated to Canada with her parents. Nice poem, emotions eloquently expressed.

I would like to translate this poem
Very emotional and full of passion. What else could a loving and caring mother give to her daughter whom she loves so much, than writing a poem to express her feelings and fond memories? You couldn't have done more than this. Many people would ignore this opportunity and keep these memories to themselves, but you chose to share, and that's kind of you. This is an amazing poem. Keep writing!
