Daughter
Daughter if you only knew, the nights I stayed awake
fighting fears and shadows, all for your sake
Through every storm and raging tide, I aimed to shield your light
built your strength, dear daughter, giving my all each night
You may not need me anymore, but my love stays true
I hope one day you'll walk right back through
For I'm always here if you’re feeling blue
a piece of me - forever loving you
As the years unfold, you drifted far from home
words once sweet can bring a tear, heart can ache alone
But the bond we have will never break apart
in the quiet moments, I feel you in my heart
Those sunny days, just me and you, laughter in the air
I did the best I could, and wished for more to share
Through hard times, I held on tight, trying to understand
how I could be the Mum and Dad, just doing what I can
Now you’re a Mum, with little ones to raise
life can be so busy, each moment filled with praise
I understand it’s hard, to find just a little time
but as the years roll on, I wish we were more aligned
No matter how far or wide you roam
please remember I once was home
I’ll be here waiting, holding you in my heart
you were my first born, sunshine from the start.
You may not need me anymore, but my love stays true
I hope you know there’s a piece of me, forever loving you.
