My Daughter

My daughter is so dear to me.
I hope she knows and can see
That my feelings for her are strong.
Even though she's sometimes wrong.
I know her faults, I know her flaws.
But that doesn't give me a cause,
to not love her from my heart.
From this love I will not part.
Of this thing she can be sure.
I'll help her to cope and endure.
Life is hard and trying, too.
I'll be there to help her through.
I love her dearly, to the end.
My daughter, my gift, my friend.
