Oakland

Daughter, precious daughter
I raised and hoped to guide
I'm grateful, I am humbled
A heart so full of pride

I watch you with your babies
Capable and brave
And I wonder is there something
You took from what I gave

I see the future, I feel hope
Your family gives me strength I need to cope
With life's uncertainties, when I feel lost
Whatever road has led us here I'd take again
Damn the cost

There are moments we have argued
We firmly stood our ground
There are volumes that are spoken
We do not make a sound

I listen and I hear you
You do and do not say
As your mother I'm inspired
Each and every day

I see the future, I feel joy
The mother of a perfect girl and boy
They are blessings, your dearest treasure
You will shield them and protect them with a love
That's beyond measure

Daughter, precious daughter
I raised and hoped to guide
Love you as I have loved you
A heart so full of pride

We watch your precious babies
And celebrate what's new
How I cherish every moment of
Time I spend with you
