Who's gonna tell

Who is going to tell my little girl
If or when I close my eyes
Stay guarded with faith
And don't fall for those forsaken non existent
White lies
If or when I say goodbye
Will my life be fulfilled 
Will I sit down with the angels
Reminding myself of quiet tears
Will I fall asleep tonight with God
Calming all my fears
As I hold my child up in prayer
I share knowledge in layers 
Hoping that she can keep up the dreams
One girl
One world conquer with no defeat
No losses
Some wins

My work on the shelf
Decades to come
All starting from a little girl who travailed through life's storms
