LEGACY

If there were time
To gather all fathers
To sing to their daughters
To sing to their daughters
If there was time.
Not of cats in the cradle
Or
Silver spoons.
But instead how they love them
And would
give them the moon
If they could.
If there were time.
They’d show them a real man
Who knows what love is
From a man to his woman
From a child to his father
And
A father to his daughter…
If there was time.
She’d learn how to teach
A man how to treat her.
She’d know by example
What she should expect.
She’d know that a real man
Would be like her father
She’d know how to give
As good as she gets.
If there was a time
To gather all fathers
To sing to their daughters
To sing to their daughters
Be they here or gone
Just think of the legacy
Each one would leave
Each one would leave
For the next to pass on.
