Tiny little hands, tiny little toes.

Looks full of wonder

Tiny little expressions, tiny little coo.
All fill our days with joy

Verse 10-4
Walk a little slower daddy
“Walk a little slower Daddy”
said a child so small. “I’m following
in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be:
Then I will have a child
Who’ll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

Verse 10-5
To My
Adopted Child, (name)
Although we may not have given you birth,
At first sight, we knew your worth.
Though there were many to choose from,
You, my dear, were our chosen one.
We love to see your smiling face,
Our arms around you, we will embrace.
We share with you, your hopes and dreams,
Relishing the moments when your face gleams.
Each day we watch you mature and grow,
And soon out into the world you will go.
Spread your wings, fly like a dove,
Knowing you have our unending love.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Verse 10-6
In
the Beginning . . .
Our
little one,
what a beautiful
sight,
To see this first glimpse of you, such a delight.
So tiny, so fragile, yet growing each day,
Soon you’ll enter this world, God bless that special day.
We are so busy
preparing for the date you are due,
We love you already, we cannot wait to hold you.
We promise to love you more each day,
We will help you to grow strong and learn how to play.
Our dreams will soon
become a reality that is true,
We anxiously await . . .
the arrival of “YOU.”

Verse 6-1
My Darling Daughter
~ My Darling Daughter,
(her name) ~
My darling daughter, I
am proud to say,
As I look at you, this very day.
You are so very precious to me,
My little girl, you'll always be.
A daughter is more than a woman full-grown,
A reflection of mom, yet a mind of your own.
You are achieving your goals, just look at you,
Following your heart, making your dreams come true.
Sweet and kind, and generous too,
Always thinking of others, that is you.
Fun and laughter, you seem to find,
Yet responsibility, never leaves your mind.
I treasure the friendship that we share with each other,
For a love like ours cannot be compared to any other.
My darling daughter, I love who you are,
The person that you have become, a rising star.

Verse 6-7
~ To Mom, My Best
Friend ~
Mom, you have always
been the one that I could count on,
When I need to talk,
or whether I am frustrated
And need to talk till
dawn.
You have been the one
who gets excited when I get excited,
About little things
that mean so much.
You have been the one
who reassures me
when I am worried about the future,
or some small detail about
something.
You always make me
feel needed,
not only as a daughter, but as a friend.
You have been the one
who always
encouraged me and never to give up.
Thanks Mom
I Love You!

Verse
6-9 Mom
You are so very special to me,
As loving and caring as can be.
You’ve given me so very much,
And how I cherish your gentle touch.
Thank you for all the lullabies that
you sang,
Ignoring the doorbell, when it rang.
For all the stories that you told,
About our family, and the days of old.
For all the fingerprints you washed
from the walls,
And for all those healing kisses, when
I took falls.
You taught me to love and to trust,
And of course, responsibility you said,
was a must.
I want you to know you’re a treasure to
me,
In my eyes . . . the best mother ever to
be.!
I Love You Mom!

my day of birth.
You always have that twinkle in your eye,
And a heart full of love, that money could not buy.
There was gentle wisdom in the advice that you give,
Guiding us in the way that we should live.
You softly speak in a caring way,
That teaches me to listen closely, every day.
Whether giving me a hug or holding my hand,
Grandma, I never doubt just where you stand.
You give your love so openly and so free,
I know it is okay to “just be me.”
So grandma, you are an angel here on earth,
I love you so much, I realize your worth.

You brighten my life as the sun does it's

Verse 6-11
~ Thank You Mom ~
Thank you for
all the times, you washed my dirty face,
And remained patient when I refused to say grace.
For all the times when I was stubborn
And wouldn’t eat my food,
And for the times you remained tolerant,
No matter what my mood.
For all the times you wiped away my tears,
Eased my pain and lessened my fears.
For all the stories and fairy tales you read,
Before you safely tucked me into bed.
The games that we played, the hugs we shared,
I know at times, the heartache that you did bear.
For all the love you have shown to me,
I thank you Mom, for loving me.
Love,

Verse 6-12
~ As Sisters ~
As sisters we have built a bond over the
years,
Sharing our joys, and yes even some tears.
As sisters we have shared secrets and more,
Bringing us closer than ever before.
As sisters we have laughed and had our fun,
And teasing each other, we will never be done.
As sisters I have found a valuable friend,
One in whom I know I can depend.
As sisters we share a love for each other,
That cannot be compared to any other.
I am so happy
you are my Sister!
Love,

Verse 6-13
~
Thanks Dad ~
Thanks dad, for all the times you
played with me,
Hide n seek and pretended not to see.
For all the times you listened to my woes,
Wrestled with me, and tickled my feet and even my toes.
For all the stories and lullabies that you read,
Just before you safely tucked me into bed.
And thanks for the gentle hugs you gave to me,
And letting me know that it’s okay to “just be me.”
And I even thank you for all the rules you gave to me,
For that taught me what can and cannot be.
For all the guidance that sent me on my way,
To be the person that I am today.
I Love You Dad.

Verse 6-14
~ A Fathers’ Love ~
A fathers’
love means everything,
Unending strength is what you bring.
You always listen with an attentive ear,
Doesn’t matter whether I am far or near.
Your hugs and affection I can never do without,
For loving each other is what life is all about.
The guidance that you give each and every day,
Is as peaceful as a meadow in every way.
You taught me to believe in the Lord,
And never to buy what I couldn’t afford.
You have given me discipline and rules,
And knowledge and insight that
I couldn’t learn from schools.
Your tender love and gentle way,
Made me the person that I am today.
I Love You Dad.
