My Dearest Daughter

​

I held you close and kissed you

I tried to say goodbye,

But on that day, my life did change

And part of me did die.

​

I caressed your cheek and held you close

And solemnly did swear,

I'd find you some day, I didn't know how

But I would see you again some where.

​

I had bathed you and fed you

For the first days of your life,

But for me to try and raise you

Would only cause you strife.

​

I sang you songs, and told you tales

Of the wonderful life you'd have,

How lucky you'd be and happy too

With a wonderful Mom and Dad.

​

My tears were flowing uncontrollably

As I told you stories of love,

I told you I would never forget

My beautiful, innocent dove.

 

Twenty-six years have passed me by

I still feel you in my arms,

And now I'll see you, I knew I would 

With all your love and charms.

​

I've come alive my darling

My heart how it does pound,

I'm whole again, my life feels good

Now that you've been found.

​

So if you wonder how I felt

Those many long years ago,

Just read this verse and freel the love

And you'll be sure to know.

​

Love, Your Mother
