She was wrinkled and
pink
When you first saw her
face
You didn't know what to
think
When you stood in that
place
Abated, elated
You lived life for this
day
And will live now for her
You were scared and
afraid
Your world it had
changed
And your outlook was
new
No longer the same
Once she came into view
And you looked at them
both
Your two little girls
In your throat, the
words choked
For all you need in
this world
Is their love and their
faith
You'd do anything for
them
And your word is your
bond
Again and again
You will give all you
have
And you'll do what is
right
That to love them is
all
And for them you will
fight
Even if they are wrong
And even if you can't
see
Why they do all those
things
So differently
Everything you have
done
And everything that you
do
Is always for them
And is never for you
And then they grow up
All at once, overnight
And you worried they'd
leave
And be out of your
sight
Your own little girl
With the stars in her
eyes
She'll go travel the
world
She will soar through
the skies
And she'll fight for
what's right
She'll remember your
words
As she carves out her
path
And she lives for
what's hers
And you cannot do more
But sit back now and trust
She'll take care of
herself
And she'll do what she
must
Doing only the things
That let her fly free
And leave her fulfilled
And make her happy
And she can do anything
That her heart tells
her to
She believes in herself
Because she knows you
do too
For you are her rock
And for that she is
glad
I don't say it enough,
That
I love you
Dad.
