Daughter

Timothy Richard 1968 (Ky)

The first
To hold her
She'll be the last
To hold me
The first
To hold her hand
She'll be the last
To hold mine
Her first hero
But not her last
Her first love
But not her last
The first
To hold her heart
But not the last
She'll be the last
To hold mine
                 Timothy Richard
