Ashley

I look back on the days when you were small

You were the easiest blessing of them all

A perfect little baby in my arms

With a mind so quick and a million charms

I still remember you at six months old

A memory of pure and solid gold

Before you even learned to say a word

You whistled the sweetest tune I ever heard

Oh, Ashley, you are beautiful and smart

You’ve got a steady strength inside your heart

I’ve been so proud of you right from the start

The best daughter that I could ever know

And now I get to watch your own love grow

You're the best mom, and I just want to tell you so

I watched you grow up strong and find your way

More beautiful with every passing day

You always had a wisdom past your years

A gentle way of calming any fears

Now you're raising up a family of your own

Reaping all the seeds of love you've sown

You took the grace you had when you were young

And passed it down to where your heart belongs

Oh, Ashley, you are beautiful and smart

You’ve got a steady strength inside your heart

I’ve been so proud of you right from the start

The best daughter that I could ever know

And now I get to watch your own love grow

You're the best mom, and I just want to tell you so

I always knew that you were meant for special things

Just listening to the joy your spirit brings

From the perfect child who whistled in the breeze

To a mother who handles life with such grace and ease

Oh, Ashley, you are beautiful and smart

You’ve got a steady strength inside your heart

I’ve been so proud of you right from the start

The best daughter that I could ever know

And now I get to watch your own love grow

You're the best mom, and I just want to tell you so
