To My Daughter
as you go to College
---
While you're away at college,
I'll think of you each day.
Before you leave
there are just a few more things,
I really need to say.
---
You've made me proud
as I've watched you grow,
it's time for you to fly.
So take a step and don't look back
because you may see my cry.
---
Remember all the important things
I taught you through the years.
Study hard and have some fun
and you'll work through your fears.
---
Make the right decisions
as if I were standing by your side.
You've grown to be a beautiful woman;
you fill my heart with pride.
---
As you are away at school
I'll be close at heart.
Know my love is always there
even though we are apart.
