For My Lily

to my daughter

Each morning I wake, and I think of you,
My little Lily, so precious, so true.
You light up my heart with your smile so bright,
And guide me each day like a star in the night.

I try to be strong, I try to be wise,
I want to be brave in your sweet, shining eyes.
Though sometimes I stumble, and sometimes I fall,
I promise, my love, I'll give you my all.

With every mistake, I learn and I grow,
For you are the reason I strive and I know
That no matter the challenge, no matter the day,
I’ll always do my best to show you the way.

To love and protect, to help you stand tall,
To laugh through the tears, to catch you when you fall.
I may not be perfect, but one thing is true�"
I’ll always, always do my best for you.

So each day, I’ll work, and each day, I’ll try,
To put a smile on your face and joy in your sky.
For you are my Lily, my heart, and my light.
