A birthday poem for my fourteen year old daughter

You're our cherished dream come true
Everything we wished for and more,
From a happy toddler to the bubbly teen
It's been a pleasure watching you grow.
Bright and friendly, filled with enthusiasm galore;
A tad impulsive, but sensitive to the core.

Safe in your cocoon, a fledgling till only yesterday
The time will come when you fly out of the nest one day
to carve your future, chase your aspirations,
Ready to face the challenges, overcome all the hurdles
With your discerning mind and keen sense of fair play,
In you we have the confidence, we know you'll head the right way

Looking at you today fills us with so much pride
You are our joy, our strength, our ray of sunshine.
When we count our blessings, we count you a zillion times
There couldn't be a better occasion to tell you what you mean to us.
So on this big day, we wish you success, good luck and joyful climes;
May all your dreams come true, may your life with happiness chime.
