Woman

I am strong and I am weak

but in every way I am complete

I laugh and I do cry

but your tears, I always dry.

I get hurt a lot of times

and to hide them...I mime

I am your friend, a teacher, a guide

and for what I am I take pride.

Your inner voice is what I am

when you fail...I believe 'You can'

I might be broken and torn apart

but its easy to love me and please my heart.

I am courage, when you lose hope

I am strength, when you struggle to cope

I comfort you when you trip and fall

will be next to you, at your call.

I do complaint sometimes you see

it pains when my loved ones don't respect me

I can love even when I am hurt

I know to forgive, when treated like dirt.

Why is it that I am unheard?

Why am I like that caged bird?

I am a human, just like you

I have a heart, that bleeds too.

I raise my voice just to know

Why am I always placed so low?

You might wonder who 'I' might be?

I am a woman, a truth, a reality...

Daddy's Girl

Singing those sweet lovely lullaby's
yesteryears have just gone by
on my own now I twist and twirl
but will always remain my Daddy's girl.

Music that binds our memories forever
fighting, crying and laughing together
...diamond rings and necklaces of pearl
but will always remain my Daddy's girl.

You fulfill my wishes...never let me cry
...an all time friend, all my tears you dry
helped me de-tangle my Barbie's curls
I'll always remain my Daddy's girl.

As I move forward I once look behind
a person like you, I'll never find
in-front of me now here is a new world
But I will always remain your little girl....
