To Know You Were Proud

You are the stars in the sky 
As every night I look above hoping to catch your eye
Pretending you will one day give me direction 

Knowing realistically how disappointed you would be in all of us 
As we all continually struggle 
And I hope to find my way 
With the thoughts of how you see me in today 
Preying it gives me a reason to find the fields with butterflies 
To find the contentment and knowledge of knowing without a doubt 
You would be proud of me and the daughter you created
