My Sweet Daughters
ONE DAY YOU WILL GROW UP.
ONE DAY YOU WILL LEAVE HOME.
I DREAD THAT DAY.
BUT I KNOW DEEP IN MY HEART YOU WILL RETURN.
I PRAY EVERY DAY YAL DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES I HAVE MADE.
I PRAY THAT YAL WILL BE BETTER THAN ME.
YOU WILL GROW UP ALITTLE MORE EACH YEAR.
YOU WILL SEE THINGS IN LIFE THATS NOT RIGHT.
I PRAY THAT YAL DON'T FALL INTO THAT LIFESTYLE.
I PRAY THAT YOU WILL NOT FALL INTO PEER PREASURE.
I PRAY THAT I HAVE TAUGHT YAL WELL.
YOU WILL SEE CRIMES.
YOU WILL SEE PEOPLE UNABLE TO HAVE A NICE WARM PLACE TO SLEEP.
YOU WILL SEE ALOT OF THE BAD.
I AM TRYING TO SHOW YOU THE GOOD IN THE WORLD .
BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME AS IT USE TO BE.
THE WORLD HAS GOT WORSE INSTEAD OF BETTER.
I SEE CHILDREN YOUR AGE EVERY DAY OUT ON THE STREETS .
AND I STOP AND PRAY THAT IT WILL NEVER BE YAL.
THE WORLD IS CRULE .
THE WORLD IS UNGIVING.
THE WORLD JUST DON'T CARE.
AND I PRAY EVERY NIGHT THAT YAL WILL BE GREATFUL FOR WHAT I TRIED TO TEACH YAL.
I GIVE MY ALL TO TRY TO PROTECT YAL.
I GIVE MY ALL TO TEACH YAL THE RIGHT WAY .
AND NOW IT IS UP TO YAL TO TAKE THIS CRULE WORLD BY THE HORNS .
DON'T GIVE UP .
AND THERE IS ALWAYS A PLACE FOR YAL AT HOME.
AND DON'T BE SCARED TO CALL UPON ME FOR HELP .
I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YAL.
YOU BOTH ARE MY WORLD , MY LIFE , AND MY BABIES .
NO MATTER HOW OLD YAL GET.
