To express what you’ve been to me
Could take me an eternity
To express how you’ve helped me grow
In ways you’ll never know
From that day, you held me tight
With pain you knew, I’d take flight
But for now, I was your little girl
No one could separate us, in this world.
Father and daughter, no other two alike
Our connection, sometimes caused a fight
Love for me, you deeply felt
Allowed you to help me, shed my childhood’s shell
I remember the day, I knew I could
Come to you with anything, bad or good
That day, I became a young woman
You put your pride aside, and held my hand
Guided me through a process so scary
Although it made you be wary
Of possibilities; of a future unseen
Where it wasn’t just, you and me
But now, those fears have come true
For another, I love too
Proud and gleeful, but sad and mournful
You give away my hand and whisper, I love you.
