My Sweet Daughter
By Richard Maxfield
4-13-2000

I was there in joy
When first you opened your eyes
A gift from God above
My spirit set free to fly

My hearts forever yours
When held you in my arms
I took you under my wing
To keep you safe from harm

If you cried at night
I jumped on to my feet
To chase away your fear
From my baby sweet

Looking with in your eyes
Elated feelings swell
The love I have for you
No words can truly tell

Your tiny hand in mine
As we walked hand and hand
The most wonderful daughter
The proudest happy man

Where ever I went
You were by my side
Your glowing smile
My chest full of pride

Now the years have passed
I try to let you go
Oh how much I love you
This I want you to know

So if I seem reluctant
To let you walk away
It’s only the memories
Of our sweet yesterday
