My Daughter

I’m alright but

I have to tell my daughter

She’s the one who

Sees it everyday

I ain’t crying

But I have to comfort my daughter

She seems to be feeling

The pain of mine

While I’m thinking

How to explain to my daughter

Why nothing

Will be the same from now on

Another failure

Of the mother

Given the child another lesson

In being strong

I’ll might be alone but

I have to show my daughter

That it’s nothing

That’s scaring me

She seems so confused

Of the new face of her mother

I have to tell my daughter

She must always trust in me
