My Little Daughter



Spread your wings,
My little butterfly,
Cry, cry, cry,
Inside my head,
Protecting you from being dead,
Taking the bullet was so fast,
Surprising everyone that I last,
Also putting it in the past,
Having no hope in life without you,
Would be so dramatic for losing you,
Thank God  I protected you from drowning
as your mother watched,
Having you by my side,
We could go on our last ride,
Motorvating you to live your life without me,
Begging you on my knee,
Don't forget about me,
My little bumble bee,
Fly as high as you can,
Don't be scared in life,
You will be someone's wife.
