For Alexandra.
She is the glitter on my life,
I hold onto hers softly,trying to be light.
She was the blessing I didn't expect
the amazing gift I could never reject
together ,from birth,just us two
she was my angel and salvation
and.... that's true .
My destiny to be her mother
an honour I would soon discover.
Now she is tall and grown
and beautiful ,let that be known.
Even though I no longer belong
as I did in the days when she was young
she still carries me with her
to the palaces and thrones
and shares with me her reverie
and comforts these old bones.
I silently listen
and learn
for ...it is her turn.
She...my daughter,
who fuels my dreams
and conquers my sorrows
and smiles my face
and glints my eye
and lightens my heavy
and flies my spirit with her 'hello.'
Sanctuary came to me
when I became mother of she.
She is the road I follow
the laughter in my sorrow
and with her always…I am there
near or apart or anywhere
My daughter carries my HEART like treasure
(and that's it's only worth to measure)
The weight of it is light upon her
and no burden of it does she speak
for bonded to it is her own
and there beside hers
mine... is home.
This I do know
loyally I follow
for she loves me dearly,
sweetly,
humbly
kindly...
she forgets me not,
even though
I was... and am…
so well worth forgetting.
All darkness brightens by her shine
Alexandra,I'm so proud you're mine.
she forgets me not,
even though
I was... and am…
so well worth forgetting.
You are far too warm and kind a person to forget.
Your Pommie Pal Steve.
Love & Peace to both of you.....Happy Birthday Princess

When I think about the love of my children and grandchildren, it amazes me. I find it hard to understand what makes THEM love ME so much. Some of your lines close to the end echo that feeling.
But God has "invented" this marvelous bond, and like you, I can only revel in it!

I can't put it any better than this - simply beautiful.
