May dolphins and dragons dance through your dreams
And faeries, pixies and sprites inhabit your imagination
Let the magic linger and play in the springtime of your life
Sing and dance and play and let the world look on in envy
You will always be my little girl, you will always be loved
You will always be precious, you will always have a place in my heart
So go out into the world an taste the bounty of joy that I hope waits for you
Know that pain makes the joy sweeter
And that laughter and tears may flow in good times and bad
And no matter what happens along the journey
You will always be welcome in your father’s arms
The greatest gift you can give the world is being you
So don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot be
Often the tougher path is worth the journey
And embrace love and joy were it is found–even when it doesn’t last forever
For as long as I live you will always be daddy’s girl
For my daughter on her birthday
