Do you promise to watch her wherever she goes?
Remind her of me from time to time
Can you tell her I love her so she always knows?
I know she loves you but she’ll always be mine
If you don’t have time to hear every prayer
Then forsake mine and let her have my share
For I’d only ever use it to plead her case
And declare her merit to possess your grace
Although I may be blind to your words and ways
She lauds your name so respect her praise
And answer her prayers whenever she calls
Raise her head whenever it falls
Dry her eyes whenever they tear
And slow her heart whenever it fears
Tell her she’s right even when she’s wrong
Please show her she doesn’t always have to be strong

This is so beautiful... You have expressed your fatherly love in such an eloquent and most artistic way... This is so true - daughters always do belong to their fathers...
