My darling,
First, let me apologize
For taking 31 years
To accept you needed me
I look back
And I see all you have experienced
I look back
And I see how you wished you were free
An identity lost
Your route shifted their way
Drowning in doubt
A tomboy, stowed away in a tree
Never shown respect
Still caring candidly
Voice hushed by sovereignty
Yet, maintaining a heart of glee
Outstretching my hand
I'm yours to trust
No one had eyes for you
But I see you--I'm here
And it's safe to grow up
