Say Goodbye

You�ve told her goodbye,
Now step away.
She�s no longer your daughter,
After today.
You taught her to talk,
To walk,
And you taught her to cry,
The tears are what you�re paying for,
And it doesn�t matter why.
There will be no more bed time stories,
No more laughter in the sun.
Not ever another butterfly kiss,
Because your time with her is done.
There�s regret burning in your eyes,
And liquid pain running down your face.
You didn�t want her to see you cry,
But now it�s much too late.
Your baby girl is crying too,
Because she is old enough to know,
That her Daddy�s going away forever,
And he won�t let her go.
