...

She never boasts nor touts her worth,
yet she's the seasoning salt of Earth.
I'm just her dad, but I'm so glad,
it breaks my heart to see her sad.

I can't protect her, she's full grown,
but I'll be there in prayers alone,
Though feeling helpless; this I say,
God watches you both night and day.

I cannot promise I'll be there
you need strong arms for love and care,
But under shadow's wings you'll be
and in God's presence you'll be free

Remember child, God always cares,
He's always there to hear your prayers.
He'll never baulk and never sleeps.
but in His heart He'll ever keep.

We've always loved you from your birth,
compassion is your height and girth.
When you were just a little girl,
with God's own kindness you'd unfurl.

In kindergarten you would play,
with children none gave time of day,
You loved those special little lambs,
revealed God's love that His care spans.
