    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY

    Well I felt your baby breath,

    upon my face,

    kissed your lips,

    and savored the taste

     

    I bowed my head,

    and thanked the Lord,

    in a life of pain,

    you are my greatest reward

     

    As I sit to write,

    tears well in my eyes,

    it's been so long,

    I thought I had forgotten how to cry

     

    Tears of pain,

    blending with tears of gratitude,

    I'm sure  tonight when I kneel down to pray,

    I will quietly recite the Beatitudes

     

    Blessed am I,

    to hear your beautiful voice,

    when I feel like giving up, I know I'm living for your love,

    so I don't have a choice

     

    So I wake up once again,

    dress in the dark to hide my hurt,

    hear you shout from your room,

    have a good day at work

     

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    I LOVE U IN EVERY WAY,

    I'M TIRED OF THIS LIFE,

    BUT I'M GONNA STAY,

    FOR YOU, FOR ONLY YOU

     

    Well two people in love,

    created love,

    after 4 torturous tries, you arrived,

    our gift from the heavens above

     

    I know that you,

    was the reason your mother and I lasted so much longer,

    doubts crop up in relationships, but when we heard your voice,

    temporarily those doubts were conquered

     

    So many times,

    you are so quiet and withdrawn,

    sometimes I call your name,

    and you don't respond

     

    I know you're in that special world,

    where families stay together,

    I hug you tight and whisper,

    don't worry it's going to get better

     

    We bake a cake together,

    I smile and hand you the remaining batter and a spoon,

    and though you're a teenager now, you give me that little girl smile,

    that reminds me of roses in bloom

     

    I hear your footsteps,

    above my head,

    and think, Lord I love her so much,

    she's worth every painful tear I've shed

     

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    I LOVE U IN EVERY WAY,

    I'M TIRED OF THIS LIFE,

    BUT I'M GONNA STAY,

    FOR YOU, FOR ONLY YOU

     

    Well I felt your breath,

    upon my face,

    I kiss your cheek,

    and savor the taste

     

    At this, the most painful point in my life,

    after living a life full of pain,

    I feel a love for you,

    mere words cannot explain

     

    You touch my chin, and say

    Daddy, I'm proud of you, you're the best father in the world,

    please don't shut me out, I'm here for you,

    and I think..wow..this is my little girl

     

    I've fought enemies, real and imagined,

    both far and wide,

    at times like this,

    I think of your sister who died

     

    I know in my heart of hearts,

    the Supreme Father truly has a plan,

    He knows without your love to comfort me,

    that I'd be half of a man

     

    God opens my tired eyes,

    to face another 14 hour work day,

    I whisper, I love you babygirl,

    then close my eyes so I can replay

    the voice of my daughter saying,

    "Daddy, I love you too"

     

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    MY TAYLOR JAHNAY,

    I LOVE U IN EVERY WAY,

    I'M SO TIRED OF BEING TIRED IN THIS LIFE,

    BUT I'M GONNA STAY,

    FOR YOU, FOR ONLY YOU

     

    AMEN
