My Life Before My Eyes

My life until now, fifteen years old.
I see a girl, little, but tough.
I see a daughter, strong, but rough.
I see a niece grow into a girl,
with love and joy inside her world.

I saw her smile, a cute baby smile,
with dimples that can reach for miles.
I saw her brown eyes, shine in the light
with nothing to fear, but oh so bright.

I watched her grow, walk and talk,
She hated playing with a Jack in the Box.
She laughed and cried,
though she didn't give up, but tried.

So now she's fifteen,
just a beauty queen.
Like a cat with lives,
I saw her life before my eyes.
