She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything was as fresh
as the bright blue sky.
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
and if I stare too long,
I'd probably break down and cry.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
as if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain.
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
and pray for the thunder and the rain
to quietly pass me by.
Well, her eyes aren't blue but they're beautiful...
this sweet child of mine!!!
Her heart is as big as the universe.
I wish all the words above were mine but, alas,
Guns N Roses sang them first.
Happy Birthday, Melissa!!!
May this be the best year ever.
I love you.

So, so beautiful...and brought a tear to my eye, too. Because it reminded me of my own daughter, who does have blue eyes...and whose heart, also, is as big as the universe.
Thanks, and happy birthday to your Melissa!

Happy Birthday, Melissa! I just love those photos! Priceless!
I hope she had the best birthday ever! I remember when our oldest went off to college and she would come home for a visit. All was great until she left. All I could see when she walked back to her car was my little two year old. :)
