Just Like You

You are your mother’s daughter

with a charge you were born

a spectacular arrival

in a winter snow storm

You are your mother’s daughter

ferocious and wild

a force to be reckoned with

not here to be mild

You are your mother’s daughter

stunning and brilliant

with an unshakable spirit

and incredible resilience

You are your mother’s daughter

persistent and brave

the fire of your grandmothers

coursing through your veins

You are your mother’s daughter

no sugar all spice

firmly standing in your power

not raised to be nice

You are your mother’s daughter

living proof that dreams come true

I’m lucky you are mine

Someday I hope you have a daughter just like you

For my daughter Chloe on her 21st birthday 3.16.25
