MY BABY IS NOW 21
I LAID MY HANDS ON HER,A DOLL, I SAY
A BUNDLE OF JOY, AN EYEFUL AND A HEARTFUL
MADE ME, HER DADA AND HER SISTER PROUD,
A BUDDING DANCER,SHE WAS THE TOAST OF THE FAMILY,
A LOVING SOUL,A BEAUTIFUL PERSON
ALWAYS LIVED HER LIFE ON HER TERMS
SHE STOOD HER GROUND ALL THE TIME
AND WE GAVE IN TO HER WAYS
SHE HAD NO EXPECTATIONS, NO COMPLAINTS,
SHE UNDERSTOOD EVERYONE, AND THEIR WAYS.
SHE CLUNG TO ME WHEN SHE LOST HER DAD
HER SIS, SHE HERO WORSHIPPED
TODAY SHE IS ON HER OWN, ON HER 21ST
WE REGRET WE ARE NOT WITH HER
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER BEST ONE SO FAR,
AND THE FIRST TIME WE ARE NOT WITH HER.
MY HEART FEELS HEAVY, WHEN I WRITE,
MY BABY HAS GROWN AND FLOWN,
SHE IS HER OWN PERSON, AND AM A PROUD MOM
I WISH HER ALL THE BEST, BLESSING AND ALL
HER DADA MUST BE SMILING,
TO SEE HIS LITTLE ONE STAND TALL, ALONE!
WE ARE WITH HER IN SPIRITS!
SHE IS SIMI! OUR TREASURE, A GIFT FROM GOD!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
