Tear in His Eye©1998 Genea Parker

A daughter’s love is special
Beyond words, beyond compare.
She brings a smile to his soul
Whenever she is near.

She is the tear in his eye.
The love of his life.
It’s hard to give her away
To be another man’s wife.

God gives fathers many gifts
Carried on wings from above.
And the greatest of all by far,
The most precious - a daughter’s love.

The love of a daughter
Means more than all wealth.
A daughter gives no less
Than all of herself.

A kiss before she turns from him
His pride he cannot hide.
Her heart is full of joy because
She is the tear in his eye.

Genea~
This is a wonderful work of art! Your father should be very proud! I read it with "tear in my eye!" Thank you for sharing this with all of us especially me on Father's day! God bless you and good luck!
