I watched her walk away
The first time away from home on her own
What was going to happen
Now that my little one is all grown up
I have seen the boys come and go
THe hairstyles change just like a tv show
But this world is a dangerous place
For a woman with so much grace
She said daddy please dont worry about me
I will be fine
I will walk a straight line
The words flowed in my ears
It was so hard to hear
I handed her a 20 dollar bill
Said by some stamps and write your old daddy dear
Your mother would be so proud
I raised you like she would if she were still around
You looked at me and smiled
I would clearly see a responsibility I had never seen
Between all the good and bad
The murders and promotions
Jobs in the past
Rapes in a big city
Losing a fathers virginity was all i could worry about
I finally recieve a call
Daddies little doll
Crying on the other end
I wanted you back here I didnt know where to begin
You said that you loved me and you had finally moved on
You said you were pregnant and that you didnt know who the father was
I said to you not to fear
I raised you and look at the beauty you have
Daddy you do not understand
I am 4 months along and the doctor says it will not be long
I said baby you are strong
The baby wont come early just hold on
You said no daddy I have the cancer momma had
They said I have 8 months to live
I fell to my knees and could not believe
You said no radiation or chemotherapy
The baby would be born
You must be warned
Daddy I need to raise this one
I thought to myself I lose one little girl and gain a granddaughter
I was sad and happy am i good father
Daddy you are the greatest and would never want anyone else
You possess what a man has unlike anyone else
My dear daughter please come home
So she can be born
I will spend that time with just you and I
I hung up the phone and thought god has taken so much
Yet he gives me the chance at another little one
I laid down that night and cried myself asleep
The next morning I was awakened hearing my little girls feet
