More poetry...

From last year - written for someone specific, but I think , on reflection, that it could comfort many...

-From Abba-

You are My daughter
My treasure, My prize
No other I've created
Could see through your eyes

I bless you, I keep you
Whether waking or sleep
I'll always protect you
My love, it runs deep

I cry when you cry
I hurt when you hurt
I've bottled your tears
They are of such great worth

I'm here for you always
Never leaving your side
I've never forgotten
My arms open wide

I Love you - you're precious
You're special, unique
I'm here for you always
Any day of the week

I'll wait and I'll listen
Until you cry out
My ear's ever-present
Of that have no doubt

My comfort is yours
You've only to ask
Every breath that you take
From the first to the last

I love you, My daughter
Rest in My peace
Feel safe in My arms
Let me bring you release

My daughter forever
So special to Me
One precious leaf
Of My family tree
