Day
by day, year by year
I've
watched you grow
Grabbing
a hold of life
with
grace and determination
Making
it your own
Molding
your dreams
into
reality
I've
watched
as
you fill to the brim
with
happiness and pride
with
each new accomplishment
I
have seen your heart broken
and
felt your pain
as
the tears spill
from
your eyes
I
know the sadness
that
consumes your soul
when
some,
who
are suppose care,
belittle
your ambition
Trying
to take control
of
your destiny
I've
seen the traces of doubt
begin
to invade
Tearing
at your self confidence
and
I begin to worry
that
maybe this time
you
won't heal
But
after allowing yourself
to
feel the pain,
to
cry the tears,
you
do heal
Stronger
and more determined
You
tighten your grip
on
life
Leaving
the negative behind
I
gladly share
all
of this with you
For
you, my daughter,
are
a survivor
and
you fill me
with
pride
Keep
reaching for the stars
and
ultimately
they
will be yours
