She was mine
for a little while,
But a little while wasn't long enough,
For I had to let her go,
And pray with her she'd take my love.
And carry it with her always
Knowing in her heart that I was near.
Wanting to hold her and love her,
And wipe away all her tears.
To take away all of her sadness,
And fill her heart with joy.
Watch her grow up and marry
That handsome highschool boy.
I just wanted to be there
To hold my first grandbaby near,
And gently whisper to my daughter,
"You've done a good job dear"
Oh yes she was mine for just a little while,
And I had to watch her grow in my dreams.
It was only yesterday they took her,
Yesterday so it seems.
It would be twenty seven years later,
When she would finally make her way home,
It was only then that I would learn,
She knew she was never alone.
