I taught you to be strong
Would you have stayed
If I asked you to?
You left me standing
And broke my heart
You have betrayed
The trust you knew
Whom you were dating
Will tear us apart
Life had played
It’s tricks on you
But you’ll be landing
To start anew
========
I taught you to be strong…
To live your life
to find your home
I know you’re not wrong…
Still my veins are cut
Still in my gut it pains
When we finally sung our last song…
========
I would lay my life for you and in your hand
The world I’d put right where you stand
Forgive me for dreams I could not give
And hopes you wished that you have lived
I wish you luck wherever you are
As much and as long as we drift apart
In my heart you’re always home
As much and as far as you want to roam
Across an ocean of land and turbulent water
I will always be waiting my loving Daughter

The words here are poignant. Wonderfully said and executed. Nicely done.

I love when a dad shows love for his children, it is a special bond. She knows she can depend on you. This is deeply felt. Love it

This gave me goosebumps - especially that last stanza.
...many dream to have a father like you...
(getting a bit emotional here, so I leave at this)

"" Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you "" Gibran. Khalil.Gibran
We all share the same feeling for our children, hope they succeed, but without modern gadgets...
Thanks Sam, for the piece its really effective. Hamid
