For the love of daughter
That I cherish as a father
The daughter I prayed to God for
Those many years ago
...
They say that love is blind
It effect your mind
You only think it is all
...
When we first met you use to pinch me and punch me because that’s what little girls do.
You use to tell me that I was stupid and things like that.
As months went by you use to tease me and taunt me because that’s what girls do.
Then one day you began to notice me for me.
...
It may take many years
Of not knowing
What it feels like
To have someone special
...
The day we met
It was sunny and bright
We drove for hours and hours
To the place where you were kept
...
For where has the time gone
It was but yesterday
When we first met
...
I'm sorry for the way you feel
For the hurt and pain you have caused
For the cards you are dealing
...
There is the sun
Who wakes me up for another day
That brightens each and every day
...
This family has been broken
I am trying to make it whole
But we keep getting resist ants
...
Once again you have come into our lives
only to leave us with hurt and pain
by the choices you have made
...
Daughter
For the love of daughter
That I cherish as a father
The daughter I prayed to God for
Those many years ago
My heart is sad and lonely
In this place that I call home
We have experienced some good times
We have gone through some bad times too
For the love of a daughter
The girl I always wanted
The daughter that I love so
The one who filled my life with joy
The one that filled my heart with pride
The one who has no way of knowing
The tears that I have shed
I can only wonder what I have done
That has turned her heart so cold
For the love of a daughter
There will be forgiveness
As precious as she is
To this Father’s heart
I can only love her
As much as I can
