My Daughter

My daughter From the seeds of my heart My child was born So young was she when she bore her own Too young they said to know what’s best So wrong they were We laughed at their jest She has the three girls And I just can’t lie All three of them angels The apples of my eye This morning the youngest Boarded a plane Going to Hawai’i All on her own. I marvelled at her courage Felt nervous for her With a last hug and wave She walked through that door Gone not a day Yet I miss her so When she’ll be back No one knows Your such a young woman now I still call you babe I love you my darling To the tips of your toes Be safe and be happy And know where you are You’ll have my heart with you Wherever you go.
