Dear Daughter Poem by Lori Hopkins

your easy bake oven
why didn't i bake with you?
can't go back and do
the things we didn't do
regret
you wanted to play that day
and selfish me
what did i say
mommy's tired
we'll do it another day
regret
i took you to the park
i took you to the zoo
but so many other things we didn't do
regret
mommy will you play wis me
oh you were so cute
even when you shared
your spitty little flute
the time went by much too fast
seems the good times never last
regret
make a tebby bear
when i began to draw
it seemed that a circle is all you ever saw
make a ceeco you would say
wish i could go back for one more day
regret
but in my book of memories
i really must admit
of all the funny things you said
this one is your greatest hit...
look mommy, i can do magikit!
wish i could have just one more day
to play the games we didn't play
to say the things i didn't say
