Counting your ten toes and fingers.
 Oh my ! how the time goes.
  Looking in a number book and learning to
  count to ten.
   Oh god how i wish it was still back then.
   Watching crawl, talk and walk, how the
    time went , like  a washed away piece of
     chalk. Now I watch you giggle and smile
      with much flair and style.  Your eyes
       change like magic, the color and the
       mood. As I watch your silk spun hair
        blow into the midnight moon.
         You are my princess without a doubt
          Life without you I could not do without.
          Your smile brightens my day, your
           laughter lightens my load. So now shall
           we dance under a starry  lit sky? A
           dance of celebration to my baby girl
           who is now 10. No more Barbies, Its 
            Teen Beat ,nail polish and lip gloss.
              Where did my lil one go?
             I watch her smile and her face and
             self grow, it hurts to see this butterfly
              bloom, but I know I will have to let
               her go all too soon.Now a child , so
               let the grass grow deep under your
               feet , cause you know My Juliet
               Someday you will grow even more
               not have all that grass under your
                feet. Stop now under this starry sky
                and lets do the decade dance!
