Not a quote as such but i love this that we used for 18th birthday for our DDs.

Our wish for you...
That in your life, which is so precious to us,
may troubles, worries and problems never linger;
may they only make you stronger and more able and wise.
May you rise each day with sunlight in your heart,
success in your path,
answers to your questions and that smile - that we love to see -
always there in your eyes.

[Sav]

These are my favourite verses.

A daughter is just a little girl who grows up to be a friend.


A Daughter's Gift

When I imagine
the life you will live,
I think of the pleasure
your presence will give.

I see the joy your smile will light
and the wonders you'll weave
when your dreams take flight.

I feel the hope
that will grow with your grace
and the difference you'll make
to each heart you embrace.

I imagine your life
as I know it will be;
for, my daughter, you've given
all this to me.


My Daughter

You'll never really know, my dear,
Just how much you mean to me,
A mother's love, buried so deep,
That only my heart can see.

When I sit and really stare at you,
All I can do is grin,
Somewhere down deep inside,
I see myself within.

I'd never change a thing in you,
I thank God that your so fine,
Even when your at your worst,
I'm so proud that you are mine.

The roads we have traveled,
were not always that good,
I would take back all the pain you've felt,
Only if I could.

I know that I'm not perfect,
It's the best that I can do,
But everyday, I thank the lord,
For a daughter as special as you.

Wow thank you ladies, they are just what I've been looking for. Casa, have bookmarked that site it's brilliant, Ginny, those words are lovely, will def use if that's Ok, Sav, felt quite choked up after reading your verses. Now the hard part, to find some mojo and use them.

The most recent entry on my blog is a mini album on my blog with some journalling that I made for my daughter that might be of interest to you.

Pam, that brought tears to my eyes and you have made a beautiful book.

All I managed to come up with for my DD's 18th was a quote from JFK: "We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes". It was a pre-printed quote on vellum which I put in her card (then it got lost in the post and didn't turn up in time for her birthday!!)

gosh val those poems made me cry - my dd is 18 on 16th March and I shall use the poems - IF you don't mind, but whether I shall be able to type them up because my eyes will be so full of tears !! thanks for them tho.

I love the poem 'the road not taken' by Robert Frost for times like this, looking forward into the future, not quite knowing what it will hold, i used this on a christening LO too. There's a link to it here.

Just wanted to say i loved your journalling, had a look at your photgraphy blog too, those pics in the highlands in scotland are totally breathtaking... soooo jealous!

Sav, love the second poem - will use it in the mini book I am doing for my DD's 18th in May if you don't mind - it really speaks volumes about her and me -

I am not sure where I found it or who wrote it, I tend to write this type of thing down when I see them, as whenever I need a poem or verse you can bet I can't find anything I like at the time.

Thank you so much

Perfect timing. I've just filled an album today for DD's 18th on Friday, but haven't done the journalling. I have to admit that it's a pre-planned one from SEI Aunt Gerti's Garden, which I got not long after I started scrapping, because I so loved the papers, and it's been so simple to fill in, at a time when I'm sooooooooooo busy that I couldn't do an ambitious album or minibook. So, sort of cheating, but that's OK, I reckon! I do love the words you've used, Ginny, and may 'lift' them if that's OK?
