My Girl

She’s the air that I breathe.
She’s the beat in my heart.
She’s the tear in my eyes
when we’re apart.

She’s the pride that I feel,
with all she achieves.
I’m the one who gives hope,
in what she believes.

She’s a part of my body,
but now she’s all grown.
as she waves me goodbye,
to find a life of her own.

My beautiful girl,
you’ve grown up so fine.
So proud am I
to know that you’re mine.
