When Daddy asked me about your gift
I did not know what to say.
What do you give someone,
Who gives so much everyday?
We whispered when you weren't looking
And came up with this plan.
To show how much you mean to us,
And to love you all we can.
We spent hours in deliberation,
Going over our delicate ploy.
Wanting...hoping for something you'd like,
And would fill your heart with joy.
We wanted to get something special,
Something you've never had before.
Something you could place up high,
Something you could adore.
We thought about a vacation,
A trip to a beach of golden sand.
Maybe a cruise upon the ocean,
Or visit a canyon so grand.
I asked Daddy, "What about diamonds,
Like in the Twinkle, Twinkle song?"
He said your eyes are brighter than stars,
And with you we both belong."
I worried that we would spend too much,
But Daddy said not to dwell.
He said your love is priceless,
And no wealth could make him sell.
Our gift is not that glamourous,
No fancy paper, ribbons or bows.
Just the knowledge that we love you,
And each day it forever grows.
We hope you like our little gift,
And it makes you want to smile.
Just like life we will not quit,
Till we go the extra mile.
WE LOVE YOU MOMMY!
Daddy & Julia
