Analysis of A Mothers Precious Gift



A Mothers Precious Gift

ADaughter is a precious gift
Sent from up above
She will make you laugh,
and make you cry;
Filling your life with love.

You will watch her grow
with each new step
that life will take her through.
A Daughter is a precious gift sent especially to you.

Be her best friend,
not just a Mother.
Love her, protect her;
Grow with each other.

Be thankful she was sent to fill your life with pleasure.
A Daughter is a precious gift, yours forever to treasure.
