I saw an old photograph of you

and the sparkle in your eyes

it was so innocent and beautiful

something I can't quite describe

You were holding onto daddy

you were the apple of his eye

Noone could have guessed

how he would hurt you,

kept his secrets wrapped in lies

My heart has been so broken

for all that you've been through

what we thought was daddy

giving a token of his love for you

was a nightmare that would follow you

for so many years to come

All your pain and shame

things that only you knew

could be erased but never undone

and

all the years that you have suffered

paralyzed with such intense fear

you were never able to get too close

or let anyone to near

Sadly, long after daddy had passed away

you lived in toment, still torn apart

I prayed that all your pain

would disappear

with each new beat of your heart

But it didn't-

Then a miracle from heaven above

came to you in the form of innocent love

he swept you off of your feet

and you fell in love so very fast

with a heavenly love that was made just for you

and it surely would forever last

And it was then that all of the past, emptiness, and pain

disappeared as you found

that His love never hurt or left you

it always remained

and from the moment you both met

until you both took your last breath

your heart finally knew love,

and

found long awaited peace and rest
