What I Have Left

My little me, she's my only remaining miracle
An innocent victim, my poor child, let the damage be minimal
My wife, my love, her mother originally abandoned her as well
I had to guilt her to see our mini angel, something I shouldn't have had to sell

For five months mommy saw you maybe a hand full of times
The excuses were deep in s**t, it hurt me, the worthless lines
So here I became a single parent, while running my barely positive shop
My life changed around for you little one, everything I would drop

I won't let you down, the world is watching with pride
At the job I'm doing, mommy's family is even on my side
But you know the truth my stinker, Daddy still loves Mommy so
And forever you will know Daddy's heart is not one to let go

Daddy is here, no matter what, he's got your back
Believe in me my child, I won't steer you wrong, and I'll stand in front if the world attacks
I will instill my values, my beliefs, what strength I have in you
Daddy never lies, he will teach you the power in being true

At three years old you already want to grow up so fast
"I'm not a baby" you say, oh you will always be my baby, that will always last
When you cling to my neck, I go in to protective bear mode
I will keep you safe, even though you growl as I do, ready to unload

You see so much, hear so much, I wish I could shield you from
But at the end of the day, never forget who was here, my only one
I'll fight for you, even against the Goddess I worship till the grave
Shes in a place, a place so far even my power can't save

But you need not know these things so young
We will play soccer, and say our abc's, and have our fun
We will go out with Uncle and his daughter
We have our little circle, nothing else should be a bother

For you Lillian Jean, I bless you, and I am blessed by you
