That I cherish as a father
The daughter I prayed to God for
Those many years ago
My heart is sad and lonely
In this place that I call home
We have experienced some good times
We have gone through some bad times too

For the love of a daughter
The girl I always wanted
The daughter that I love so
The one who filled my life with joy
The one that filled my heart with pride
The one who has no way of knowing
The tears that I have shed
I can only wonder what I have done
That has turned her heart so cold

For the love of a daughter
There will be forgiveness
As precious as she is
To this Father’s heart
I can only love her
As much as she will allow me

Dads, like you and Oneir8dude, can only raise their daughters (children) with love and place their best values in their childrens' hearts and minds. The times and circumstances of their being "teenagers" will pass into adulthood. In my experience with friends who are fathers, it seems the older the child gets, especially with children of their own, they realize the wiser and more loving the father is. That's why they're called "grandfathers"! Hang in there. Wonderful write.

Im sure your daughter loves you, they grow away as they get older and are so engrossed in their own lives, but deep down if you needed her she would be there im sure of that..xxx

Daughters are for a lifetime. As she becomes a wife and Mother she will return home to tell you how wonderful you are to have put up with her for so long. Trust me on this one.
The old saying children are sent to try us. Well done and I'm sure she will laugh in the years to come at what a worry wart she turned you into.
