Strong Child of Mine
Been blessed with a girl, so perfect, so small
then she says her first words in no time at all
pull up your socks theres a new world called school
her teachers complain, She's acting the fool
a boy's caught her eye, she's now on cloud nine
but I,m only sixteen, don't be scared, we'll be fine!
the hurt and the pain as the baby stays sleeping
not meant to be, I say as I'm weeping
times a great healer as she soon bounces back
three grandchildren later, she's now got the knack
now in wedded bliss, and studying hard
she never looks back, there's no sympathy card
life toughens you up in the harshest of ways
and my love is all yours till the end of my days
