I know that one day I will collapse,
And hopefully, you won’t witness it.
I will make sure that, until your last breath,
I’ll stay strong and keep us stronger.

You are the most precious gift you could ever wish for.
You are the light that guides you through the darkest nights.
You are the Santa you’ve always dreamed of.
You are the Christmas you’ve been waiting for.

To my daughter,

In the midst of the war,
Amid the heart-aching pain,
Through the windy nights,
On my darkest days,
You are my hope.

There’s a scar etched on my heart,
Forged by love from ages past.
Yet it makes me brave in the battle,
Brings hope amidst despair,
And guides me forward.

I’ll meet you
In the space between darkness and light,
Where everything feels divine.

Baby, I am in love with the
sparks inside you.
Can I call it Hope?

Take me home, country roads
the place where we
met in the evenings,
The place where we played
and laughed together.
