You do....
You think you don't deserve it,
you do.
You think you're not beautiful
you are.
You think I don't love you
I do
I'm near when you think I'm far.
I watched you grow over the years
I watched your sadness and your tears
I held you tight
as you cried at night
you think I don't love you,
I do.
I know you went through a lot of pain
and sorrow and turmoil too.
It hurt me to put you through all of that
I did it because it was best for you.
I stood there while you fell down
scraped your knee and bled
I came and picked you up and held you
when you fell and hit your head.
I have always been there for you
watching you grow stronger each day
and seeing you overcome all the obstacles
I allowed to be in your way.
I knew you needed them
to overcome and to grow
I think you'd be surprised
just how much about you I know.
You see I know what scares you
and what haunts your dreams each night
so I send my angels to your bed
the demons away to fight.
But sometimes I have to let them through
though it hurts me deeply you see
but I need you to know I do it for you
so you can grow and be free
I know about the problems you had
with guys I sent your way
I know that they were pretty bad
that's why I sent them away.
But they were there to help you grow
in ways you don't yet know
but now that you have grown to be
a beautiful woman, believe me.
A child who is starting out
learning to see the world anew
so I've given someone special a dream
and I sent them straight to you.
I know them too and I know their pain
and the path is clear to me.
So embrace the plan I have for you both
and together follow me.
For I know the things you have both been through
and I know it's been quite rough
but I also know that together as friends
you are both very tough.
So I give to you someone special to me
and I know they'll treat you right
for I know you are hurt and scared
I also know that you are quite prepared.
So when you think you don't deserve it...
my child...
you do..........
