My Daughters
pretty like a picture
delicate like a bud
so little,so tiny
i hold you in one hand
a palm of so many memories
tears on every finger tip
i think of you with every touch
with every kiss on my lips
so why do you have to grow up so fast
where did all the time go
i'd have you for the rest of time
this is always in the know
then one day,i turned around
and both of you were gone
in you place,two women stood
with a smile and both so strong
the feelings that i have felt for you
i share out fair and square
in every kiss,i'll see your smile
and every touch,the faces of you
still so pretty,a picture
flowers buds make me think of you.
