The poem 'Thank You Daughter', by Robert Mayfield, shows the love of a grandfather for his grandfather. The poet expresses his gratitude towards his daughter, who has given birth to a beautiful, little girl. He thanks his daughter for bringing a bundle of joy into his life. The poet finds a reflection of his daughter in his granddaughter and hopes that she will prove herself a good, caring and loving mother. He tells his daughter that now, time would run so fast that she would not even come to know when her daughter will turn into a woman. Truly, a newborn makes a woman's life full of joy and happiness. This poem is perfect to be recited by a man on his granddaughter's baby shower.
Thank You Daughter
Thank you daughter for the gift you gave to me
A happier grandfather there never will be
This beautiful little girl, so tiny, so small
Brought joy to my life, smiles to us all.
I see you in her face and her eyes so blue
This little girl is a carbon copy of you
And just like you, she will grow so fast
These precious moments you know wont last
Cherish every second, every minute, every day
You'll be astounded by how fast time flies away
I know a wonderful mother you will surely be
As wonderful as the daughter you have been to me
There are no words on earth or up above
That for you and Keelin can express my Love
