Jewish Rite of Passage
Yes, I love you child
more than you'll ever know
Although you don't understand me right now
because you're only one-year-old
Rest assured,
rest assured
Yes, I love you dear
more than you could possibly know
Even though you're smarter than me
when I was ten-years-old
Keep your heart,
keep it pure
Yes, I love you daughter
in every way you now know
Because your love has surpassed mine
now that you're twenty-years-old
Always believe
love endures
Dedicated to my beloved daughter Sade
