To My Daughter - My Daughter

MY DAUGHTER

========

If you had been your

that God sent me,

many suffering

in my soul you will avoid.

If you had been you,

My daughter so desired,

How many sad tears

I never shed .-

But they say it is not a mother

that the stop,

But also that

Who loves and knows it .-

God heard my prayers,

Maybe a little late,

And "I? put in my way

In my most serious .-

You are my joy,

My hope, my comfort .-

The one I know best - in

All over the world.

You were my gift

so long desired;

And only I beg you, -

You're always by my side .-

For My Daughter (Nuer) Sonia, her other mother .-
