My Daughter

She’s the air that I breathe,

She’s the beat in my heart,

She’s the tear in my eyes,

When we’re apart.

She’s the pride that I feel,

With all she achieves,

I’m the one who gives hope,

In what she believes.

She’s a part of my body,

But now she’s all grown,

As she waves me goodbye,

To find a life of her own.

My beautiful girl,

You’ve grown up so fine,

So proud am I,

To know that you’re mine.
