When I was just three,
daddy said to me,
I was the cutest girl that I could be.

Then when I was six,
we played pick up sticks,
poor daddy never won, he's sure it was fixed.

When I turned eleven, just four years past seven,
daddy said his little girls new look was heaven.

Then came my sweet sixteen birthday party,
my dad, our family and friends, partied hearty.

By the age of eighteen, I'd fallen in love,
with a boy named Ed, who called me turtle dove.

I was now 21, it was my wedding day,
daddy way sad to be giving me away.

And as we walked slowly up the isle,
his face changed from sad to a happy proud smile.

And when all was said and done,
we knew a new fairy tale had begun.

At 23 I became the proud parent of a little boy,
His grandpa, my daddy, was again filled with joy.

Now grandpa, Ed, his daddy, and little Mark,
Play baseball and go fishing in our neighborhood park.

The circle of life goes round and round,
We live and we grow and the miracles abound.
