Daughter

you feel like it's going nowhere
and your slipping off the track
you can't move into tomorrow
with all of this on your back
all I see is anguish
when I look into your eyes
no words of comfort I offer
give you peace of mind

daughter, you're still young
and you will find your path
love will be restored
rising out of this aftermath
don't give up on faith
don't give up on prayer
look upward to His heavens
you'll find the answers there

Beautiful words for your daughter, my parents, were always there for me, no matter, what stupid or dumb thing I did, I knew they would forgive and their door was always open. One day, your daughter will find her path, and she will always recall your love.. constance
