Beloved Daughter
If there were any forgotten thank you’s
Or in the past were barely said
I ask for your pardon, my darling
And if you would please read ahead.
Thank you for your gentle touch
Upon reaching for my hand
Thank you for your loving smiles
Which help’s me understand.
Thank you for your calm
It settles all my fears
Thank you for your stay
And touching my last tear.
Thank you for your lead
When I begin to stray
And thank you for your find
When I had lost my way.
Thank you for your faith
When I was in the wrong
Thank you for your words
It’s these that make me strong.
And thanks but for the grace of God
For He created you
So my child with pride someday
I’ll leave a part of me in you.
Brenda Elizabeth Rose
