Taken Away
When you came into this world my heart soared with love that I've never felt before.
I remember your little hands reaching out,
And your little nose and big eyes staring ahead.
I sniffle a little and think, "This is true love."
This love taught me to treat you right and help you grow up.
I've been with you for years and years with your hands wrapped around my heart.
And when our love combined we made the perfect art.
Always full of light and colors,
I never knew there was another.
And then everything screamed, "Now watch the play!"
That's when I feared they'd take my little girl away.
When we weren't together instincts told me to find you, to hold you tight and never let you go.
Then one day you came home with someone wrapped around you waist,
Holding your hand and kissing your face.
My heart shattered but I knew it was time
For someone to sweep you off your feet and carry you high.
But I was hoping it wouldn't be this soon,
That my love alone would keep you moving like a dancer's signature tune.
But I had to keep telling myself that this is your first and most likely won't be your last.
I watched as you turned around with him by your side, and I saw your back in my eyes.
As you walked away into the night, I couldn't help but think that I didn't do enough.
My world came crashing down the moment you brought him home,
I felt like I've been betrayed.
When he took my little girl away.
So now I sit here and wonder if I did the right thing,
By letting him take you from your mother's gold embrace.
And when he got to one knee and asked that marvelous question
My world spiraled downward, now here is my confession.
I pushed those thoughts aside to see you happy,
And if he ever did anything to hurt you I'd send an army.
Because, even though you left me like this I will never fall into that dark abyss.
Not when you went off to love him forever or when I felt like you disobeyed.
I still can't believe he took my little girl away.
Now old and miserable from lack of love,
You came running back and I see you throw your arms around me.
I immediately get filled with glee.
I hear you crying into my shoulder,
And when I asked you, "What has brought you here?"
You replied with, "Your going to be a grandmother!"
When I didn't move or say anything
You got up and showed me your diamond ring.
I started to cry tears of joy and say, "This world makes me truly amazed!"
Now glad he took my little girl away.
