Ashlee

Ashlee, I look at you, seeing my face

But you fill up the room with a lively new grace

You're strong and you're caring, you stand on your own

I'm amazed by the beautiful woman you've grown

They call you my mini-me, and I know it's true

But I'm learning so much just by looking at you

I know I wasn't always the mom I should be

But I'm giving my best to you now, finally

I look at the woman and mother you are

My beautiful Ashlee, my guiding star

I'm so deeply proud of the love that you show

Watching my mini-me beautifully grow

You pour out your heart in the things that you do

Your fiercely strong spirit is shining right through

You're raising your own now with so much sweet grace

I see all the care in the smile on your face

I'm making up time for the days in the past

Building a bond that is destined to last

I know I wasn't always the mom I should be

But I'm giving my best to you now, finally

I look at the woman and mother you are

My beautiful Ashlee, my guiding star

I'm so deeply proud of the love that you show

Watching my mini-me beautifully grow

Forgive my missteps on the road that we took

When it comes to a mother, you rewrote the book

You took all my strength and you made it your own

The most caring mama that I've ever known

I know I wasn't always the mom I should be

But I'm giving my best to you now, finally

I look at the woman and mother you are

My beautiful Ashlee, my guiding star

I'm so deeply proud of the love that you show

Watching my mini-me beautifully grow

Yeah, you are the woman and mother I see

Ashlee, my lively, strong mini-me
