"TO MY DAUGHTER"
You're a precious thought to me,
A treasure to my heart.
You are daughter who have played
A very special part.
All the beauty life can give
Is summarized in you.
I am proud and I am glad
That life presented you.
In your own compelling way
I see that you're unique.
I am confident you'll reach
The very goals you seek.
Your growth and progress always are
So charming to behold.
It is such a wondrous thing
To watch your life unfold.
All my love and all my hopes
Give time a special hue.
All my days and all my years
Are full because of you.

LITTLE LAURA LEIGH
I remember the birth of my first born as if it were yesterday. I went into labor on Saturday at 6:00AM. She was born at 11:02AM on Monday, May 12, 1969. They say childbirth is one of the hardest pains to bear but one of the quickest to forget. I know this to be true.
She was 21 inches long and weighed 8 LB. 2 OZ. She was the blue eyed little girl that I always dreamed of having. Her hair was light blond, although there wasn't much of it. Oh what a beautiful baby the Lord blessed me with that day. We named her Laura Leigh.
As I watched her grow into an even more beautiful young lady I knew one day I would have to let her go. Even though I knew this, it was so hard to see her walk down the aisle to her future husband. I no longer could protect her as a mother protect her child. She was no longer a child but a grown woman.
Eventually I watched her grow into a loving mother of four children. My little baby was having babies herself. What a wonderful mother she became. She loved the Lord and she taught her children to love Him also. What more could I ask for?
Laura, honey, this page is for you. I am so proud to have you for a daughter. The Lord really blessed me when He sent you to me. I wish I could have done some things differently but I can't. Just know that I love you very much and I'm proud to call you my daughter!
