My Daughter Liz

Elisabeth Lang we named you
Me and you mother
Elisabeth was your name
Lang was your great grandfather

My grandfather Lang I never knew
He died at a young age
But you I will never forget
I held you on your first day

For after the doctor grabed you
I got to hold you next
After your mother birthed you
You I saw take your first breath

I have loved you from that first instant
I knew then that God was good
And I have always loved you
Though I never always understood

To me you are the greatest gift
In my life on this earth
My love for you will never die
I have loved you from your birth

And I will always love you
Nothing else much maters
Just ask me for anything
I will give it, be I in taters
