Daughter

Everything she sees,
she says she wants.
Everything she wants,
I see she gets.

That's my daughter in the water.
Everything she owns I bought her.
Everything she owns.
That's my daughter in the water,
everything she knows I taught her.
Everything she knows.

Everything I say,
she takes to heart.
Everything she takes,
she takes apart.

That's my daughter in the water,
every time she fell I caught her.
Every time she fell.
That's my daughter in the water,
I lost every time I fought her.
I lost every time.

Every time she blinks
she strikes somebody blind.
Everything she thinks
blows her tiny mind.
That's my daughter in the water,
who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?
That's my daughter in the water,
I lost everytime I fought her
Yea, I lost every time.

It's like the third time i read this and think of commenting... i just dont seem to find the right phrase... words do no easily express what one feels or thinks...

I just think it is a beautiful post Am.

Here's to many many un-fought (and lost in advance) fights yet to come ahead.

My favorite line is "everything she thinks, blows her tiny mind" :)

Such a good song...
