To My Daughter Sabine

By Rosie Bourget

I look at you at this moment

So ready to start a new life

So ready to face a new world

But in my heart, I’m thinking back

To when I first held my little girl,

And I said to myself, gosh,

She is everything I dreamed

I hope she knows how proud I am

To have a daughter

As wonderful as her !

I look at you at this moment

And I’m thinking,

It may be time to let my girl go for good,

But the things I’m keeping for myself,

Are my precious memories !

As the time has come for you

To transition from daughter to wife,

May success find its way to your heart.

Tomorrow may bring you the greatest of joy

But today is the day it all starts!

May you and Sean be each other’s sun and moon

As your destinies unfold.

And should you lose sight of each other

And start to drift apart,

May you circle back by following

The compass of your hearts !
