Fathers & Daughters
Frederike Berendsen
Fathers
We daughters
Love you
This recklessness you had
I would have loved to imitate that for a while
On special occasions only
When I sit with my right leg
Crossed over my left leg, lately I
Talk like you
When I stare up to the sky
Before I sleep at night
I don't look
I don't look
I don't look
For the brightest star anymore
But I know you approach
As we gather near
To tell you how dear
You are to us here
And I know we are safe
When i look above
Guarded by the stars
I still feel your love
