This is a song I wrote for my daughter Katy. I never got to meet her (it's a long story) and she died of SIDS at the age of 5 months old. My heart has grieved for what could have been since the day she went home to Jesus. I just wanted to share this short song I wrote for her. God bless.
"The Father I Can't Be"
Sometimes as I close my eyes
I see her face again.
She's snuggled up in my lap;
you know she's my best friend.
So I listen to her heart beat,
and I clutch her to me tight.
I hold her safe in my arms,
hold her through the night.
But in the light it's just a dream;
so I fall to my knees.
I bow low before my King,
and send up a desperate plea.
I pray...
Hold her close Jesus,
sing a song just for her and me.
Whisper her a bedtime story,
be the Father I can't be.
You know I love her Jesus.
She's everything to me.
So hold her tight Jesus,
and be the Father I can't be.
You know I love her Jesus
so be the Father I can't be.

Beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes.
King David probably had similar song in his heart when his son from his adultery with Bathsheba died at just a few days old.
I pray God gives you comfort as He holds her close to His heart.
I agree you should copyright it....make a copy and send it to your self...address on the side you seal and put the stamp across the seal and the post office will stamp there with the date and that is the poor man's copyright. Valid as long as the seal isn't broken.

We can't ever realize your pain, never. She is blessed that she has such a thoughtful father.. and you two have still a way to communicate spiritually. She must be very happy on having your selfless kindness.
You are great.

that is absolutely lovely... it gave me shivers up my spine and watery eyes.
i am a songwriter as well, and i knew how it feels to loose someone. i hope writing that helped you to get out some of your emotion. as for the rest, i am praying for you to recover from your loss.
lovely, lovely song.
May God bless you richly.

Nice.
