Daughter

I was a child and you were a child

And we lived within each other

I called you daughter and you called me mother.

As you grew, time stood still

I walked beside it through you

Holding you up stopping slides downhill.

Every time you hurt, my heart ached

Pain like that was never faked

You were my life in another face

Daughter your soul is too good for this place.

I'm following your footsteps

Waiting behind you

For one thing I know is true.

I love you and protect you

Against all harm nearby

Because daughter you are the wings

My deepest reason to fly.
