Analysis of 18th birthday
Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)
Your about to turn 18 my daughter
I wish you the best in everything
May you become something great
That’s all I ever wanted from you
I do love you more then you know
Even though we might argue a lot
But I’m still going to be there for you
Even if you drive me crazy sometimes
Are you excited about being an adult?
I bet you don’t know what’s in store
When you get your own place one day
Life isn’t as easy as you think it is
So as you travel down this road you go
Just know I will always love you so
May you go find what your looking for
You never know what journey lies ahead
