daughters

Goddess please keep my grown girl child safe.
(I have four you know)
Ease her heart and light her way.

In spite of herself -
please let her see

There are people who love her -
especially me...

She walks her own life path today

Her choices are hers -
I can't take them away

I watch my sweet daughter -
I feel her salt tears

She's laying foundations -
She'll walk all her years

I tell myself -
Just let her go,

there'll be healing with time -
we reep what we sow

Inside I say
I'm your mother.
I love you.
Come back to my arms...
Creator I beg you to keep her from harm.

but my heart aches as I watch -
the new path she climbs

I know it too well -
for once it was mine.

Goddess I ask you again this new day...

watch over my child

please guide her way.
