My Daughter's Wedding (a Fathers' Prayer)

© By Anonymous
My Lord,
My God,
How can it be,
That she's looking at him
As she once looked at me?

Can he know her heart
As I've known her heart?
Can he dry her tears
As I have through the years?

Where have the days gone
When I was her knight,
And dragons b'neath bedsprings
Abandoned their fight?

My Lord,
My God,
I know it must be,
That she now trusts him
As she once trusted me.

Help him love her heart
As I love her heart.
Let him dry her tears
As they walk through the years.

A new day has dawned
And he is her knight.
When dragons ascend,
He must take up the fight.

My Lord,
My God,
I pray let it be,
That they walk with you
As you have with me.
