i gave you up
so you could have a better
life than what i could provide
it broke my heart
to do it but it was
for you that i now deal with
a broken heart everyday
i wanted you to
have the life i could never
have provided for you
i love you
and i always will
you are my first born
and that will never change
i am glad to see
that you do not have to
worry about where your next meal
will come from
or where you will sleep at night
that is my gift
to you my dearest daughter
i hope one day you will understand
why i did what i did
