My Daughter

I am frustrated my daughter;
You are not the proper child I had hoped for.
You will never marry a fine young man;
The one way you can bring honor to our name.

Why have you gone away my daughter?
You try to take my place in the war;
You try to bring honor to the family,
But this will only bring your death.

You have returned to me my daughter!
You bring a sword and a necklace?
To bring the family honor and pride?

The greatest honor I have, my daughter, is you.
