My Daughter does not share

Her thoughts of feeling bare

I know she is distraught

I sense it in her thought

In me she does not confide

Why from me she comes to hide

Telling me only lies

When I hear it in her cries

Perhaps she feels

It’s better this way

Only me she cannot sway

Because I know

The truth in all

Will all one day be revealed

I’ll be there to help her heal

Until then I’ll just sit back

And wait until she finds the right track

Homeward bound to my open arms
