For My Daughter
Though I wanted you to stay a tiny baby,
and keep you in my arms so tight,
I know you are going to grow
But always remember
through the years
I still love you so.
The years have rushed by
and all I can do is sigh.
I have to realize
your a baby no more.
And I ask the Lord up above
to keep you in his thoughts
and keep you safe from harm.
I am always with you
even if we are miles apart.
You were once my baby angel,
but now I have to let you grow.
I cry when I see you
Because I see how far you have come,
Your a beautiful young woman now
and you have made me very proud.
