My Daughter
The day she arrived what a proud mqn i was
Felling as high as the heavens yes i was
My beautiful little daughter all ten fingers and toes
Right down to her cute little button nose
Yes i think back to that glorious day
Thanking god for her on her birth day
She grew up fast before you knew it she was twelve
The happy times i enjoyed watching her grow
Now its time for me to go we both know why
Heartache and sorrow we both cried
Years passed both of us not knowing
Lives we were living paths we had taken
Then after years of emptiness in my heart
My daughter found me and rekindled my life
In a letter she wrote i must have closure
Lets talk things out and think it over
Getting to know one another again
Is the happiest of times ill say it again
Never again will i lose you my precious daughter
Daddys come home amen
