Daughter
DAUGHTER
You live in a world that's crazy
you feel, you love
but you act lazy.
I live in a world of pain
people come every day
their eyes full of living rain
somehow I find the things to say
to ease their hearts, to give them hope
My words of wisdom provide a rope
upon which to hang while they heal.
But you who came from within myself
I cannot reach to help you feel
the love I have for you alone.
Out upon the world you roam
lost and tossed upon the seafoam
of life's desire.
I see you reach your friends
and them teach the meaning of life -
- to be there when there's strife.
You judge and criticise me
But you being I is what I see.
You feel and love and offer self
this is all I ever do.
My need for your love hurts too much
I try to show it buying shoes.
Will we never heal the past
It cannot be undone.
Time happens far too fast
My love for you will always last
