From a child to a lady,
lessons learned,
following your dreams,
respect to be earned.
rights and wrongs honey,
you deal the cards,
learning to be a lady,
it can be hard.
From toys to harmons,
and styles to fit in,
be yourself honey,
its the only way to win.
Sometimes its hard
to hold that smile,
but it's what will get you through
the longest mile.
When you are just starting out,
often not to get your way
you sit and pout.
The biggest part of learning
with the help of Mamas firm hand,
listen to her darling
for heartaches aren't in her plans.
Mama said boys are just learning
so don't believe their lies,
he is a handsome young man
with those come on eyes.
He will give you gifts
his touch will melt your soul,
but listen to mama
and heartaches won't unfold.
Take a moment to meet the lady to be,
Take a moment
and when in doubt think of me.
Take a moment and remember
you are your Daddy"s girl,
and if you hold yourself true
will stay that polished pearl.
See the girl, the lady, the woman to be,
she is in his reflection
in his eyes don't you see.
Know what you want in life,
let not a tear distort your view,
and know honey it is all up to
what you decide to do.
Look about at all your friends,
how many times
their heart you helped mend.
For they fell for the lies
and in turn they fell you see,
too young to see the pain
but let the boy take the lead.
Be the lady the woman
without sorrows and pain,
learn all you can and stay happy
know respect was gained.
To enjoy life yet be true to yourself,
you will then see a woman of great wealth.



always
