You began as a wish, a hope and a dream
a prayer in a bottle, sent down the stream
The wait was brief, the promise received
never would have thought, who could have believed
A baby girl, to love and to keep
oh my love, how it ran so deep
A joy from the moment, I knew of your being
I couldn't believe the face I was seeing
Sweet and perfect, darling and mine
to hold and to treasure, for all time
We spent each moment, wrapped in splendor
no sacrifice at all, for this heart to surrender
My world and yours, no space in-between
for your trust and happiness were mine to glean
The years they did fly, so fast and so swift
the years we've shared are a cherished gift
You've been dealt more than your share
sometimes, I know, it hasn't seemed fare
But the days they were hard and often long
you made it thru, this life has made you strong
You are my sweet girl, with guts and true wit...a mind of your own
its been my pleasure and joy, my how you've grown
The heart of an angel, you care so much
you bless so many, with your gentle touch
The most beautiful eyes and amazing curls
I remember the giggles and fancy twirls
Memories to keep and remember all of my days
how God did bless me, with all of your ways
Never forget, you began in my heart
never forget, you were loved from the start
We're such good friends and you're no longer a child
you are a young woman, who's lovely and mild
I love you dearly, you're my very first
surely my heart, it did almost burst
I pray your dreams are fruitful and whole
my beautiful and sweet, Bria Nicole
As you turn seventeen, may God bless your days
may He set before you, His glorious ways
As time, it does pass, look to the heavens above
and always remember you began in love
