Whitney

The doctor saying, "It's a girl,"

The happiest moment of my life.

Oh Whitney, you transformed my world,

And chased away all earthly strife.

From your first breath until this hour,

You’ve been my strength, my quiet power.

You have a patient, loving heart,

A gentle spirit, bright and smart.

An incredible mother to your own,

The greatest blessing I have known.

Remember, today is not goodbye,

Let not your faithful spirit waver.

It is simply, "I'll see you later,"

And I will be with you forever.

We shared so much, the sights we saw,

In Washington with your grandma.

Then down to Texas, safe and sound,

With our two little boys running 'round.

We loved each moment at the ocean,

A perfect picture of devotion.

You have a patient, loving heart,

A gentle spirit, bright and smart.

An incredible mother to your own,

The greatest blessing I have known.

Remember, today is not goodbye,

Let not your faithful spirit waver.

It is simply, "I'll see you later,"

And I will be with you forever.

In my old age, when steps grew slow,

You showed the sweetest love I know.

You took such tender care of me,

With boundless grace and dignity.

Thank you for being by my side,

My precious daughter and my guide.

You have a patient, loving heart,

A gentle spirit, bright and smart.

An incredible mother to your own,

The greatest blessing I have known.

Remember, today is not goodbye,

Let not your faithful spirit waver.

It is simply, "I'll see you later,"

And I will be with you forever.
