Written to my daughter when she was 15 years old
Natasha at 15


As the sun begins to rise,

It takes me back to a time

Long ago, the moment you were born.

I vowed to love you always

No matter what you said or did.


My Feelings have not changed

In the fifteen years that have passed

Nor will they change in the years

Still to come.


But now my love for you

Seems to only cause you pain,

Why, I’m not quite sure.

Your love for me has changed.


Why do we hurt those we love most?


I wish I knew what I have done,

To make you feel this way.

Now it’s me that feels the pain

From all you’ve said and done.


If I could, I would undo

All the hurt we both now feel,

And bring back all the love

You had for me long ago.


I sometimes feel that it’s too late,

I have lost your love for good.

Will I ever find it again?

Only time will tell.


Until then I will hope and dream,

Because my love will never end.
