Letters From Dad
My darling Miss America
before I bid you adieu
I wanted you to know my dear
how proud I am of you
In my heart I always knew
that you would find your way
still you had me pretty nervous
right to the final day
Sometimes you think it trivial
the things you choose to do
but in this path you chose to take
the world has hope anew
To know you found your dignity
more valuable than pride
that you overcame your darkest fears
to declare what you’ll not abide
Your soul is sure to keep its glow
as you were always dest
Of liberty and freedom
may your heart stay ever blessed
See you soon
All my love and hope,
Father Time
