a new era
~*I love you my child*~
*
The nature of my story is sad but true
Never have I told but to barely a few
When I was just nineteen years old
I met a girl whose name I’ll with hold
A maiden of fair beauty was she
I never understood why she chose me
Me being a bit of a jack the lad
Never thought of ever being a dad
Our courtship over I went away
I never saw her again for many a day
On my return I was eagerly told
I now had a daughter six weeks old
When I finally contacted my baby’s mother
She told me she was to wed her new lover
Then she told me in tears of emotion
I’ve put our daughter up for adoption
I begged her to let her live with me
She said her lover would never agree
The day we went to sign her adoption paper
I kissed my Daughter and told her I loved her
Over many years my little girl I tried to trace
Never to find her this sad fact I have to face
Forty years have now past and still I often cry
I’ve not given up I just don’t know where to try
If one special wish could be granted to me
Before my life is over my daughter I wish to see
