My Dearest Daughter
I want you to know my dear daughter
I thought of you every day
The thought you say your daughter hates me
The question asked is how can a baby hate
The answer is, a baby learns what it is taught
I never raised you to hate in any way
To disrespect or live such a troubled way
You've hurt me like no other has
In such a way it no longer bothers me
Although I think of you more then you'll know
I no longer care if I see you again
You were my dearest, my one and only
And the day I gave birth to you
Gave me bragging rights in all that you do
I showed I was proud, you didn't understand
Much time has gone by
I hardly think of you any more
The day will come, you will need me again
That day will be, when it's much too late
I won't be the one who will be so hurt
You will find that you waited much to late
My time will have ended on this dear earth
I will be gone, spending my time in Heaven
I will watch over my dear granddaughter
I will guide, guard and protect her
From the evil that you teach her
That my dear daughter is a promise
I will take care of her, from above
I will teach her how to love, honor and respect
Things I did teach you, you weren't paying attention
I want you to know my dearest daughter
I loved you before you were born
And I loved you 'till my dying day
I now love you from above
But now you're on your own without my love
Just remember this my dear daughter
You took the love I had to give my granddaughter
From her life, she'll never know
You cheated her, from a part of life
She will find out, and pay you back
When that happens, remember this
It's the same, you did to me
