Awwww :) From my Daughter

So I found this in my daughter's bag.  It was an excerpt from one of her assignments.  She didn't even tell me she was writing it.  Loved it so much I had to ask for the soft copy.  The assignment was to describe what would inspire the lyrics to a song if you were to write one:

----


My mom has always been one of the most important people in my life. Through  rough and easy, I've always had my mother by my side. No matter how big or small the problem I knew that I could always count on her. One of the best parts of being with my mom is how funny she is. Within five minutes of being with her I'm always laughing so hard my stomach hurts. Once we were driving to my grandparents home and my mom was doing an impression of a character from a old TV show that I watched when I was three. When we got to my grandparents house my face was so red that they thought I was going to be ill. I could never get sick of her company because each time its a little weirder and funnier. Over time I've met new people and new role models but nobody has ever been a great of a role model to me as my mother. She's the stars to my sky and she always will be. I chose my mother to be my lyrics because like lyrics she's the meaning to everything. If you're listening to a song with no lyrics you won't know what the songs about. She's the reason for the whole song. Therefore my mother is my role model, my inspiration and my lyrics.

Every now and then, as parents, we feel down, and wonder if we are doing right with our children.  We do the best we can with the resources we have available.  But we still doubt ourselves.  And then we find something like the above and realize everything just might turn out OK.  This made my day.
