The day you died, I was fully grown A proud parent, with children of my own All of me lost you, all of me cry But 5 year old me, keeps asking "why" That sweet little girl, you tucked in every night That six year old, you taught to ride a bike That eleven year old, you waved off to camp That excited fourteen year old, getting dressed for the dance That sixteen year old, that just learned to drive That twenty year old, who lost her first child The mother version of me is terrified That you are not by my side The grown me hurts, with nowhere to hide It's not just me who lost you, but every girl I am inside
