When you’re in the world
I will be your protector
As a samurai
protects what matters the most
Even when I don’t
have all the answers for you
I will have questions
To find meaning together
On the winding road
You’ll walk to uncertain ends
Like a katana
You’ll be forged imperfectly
Full of golden cracks
Shining in kintsugi soul
I will say to you
That the world isn’t to be feared
That it is a place
To find what matters the most
There will be long nights
You’ll want to hide away from
I will hide with you
Long enough to see the dawn
All darkness passes
You can be more than one thing
The best of two worlds
Free to choose a destiny
A destination
At the end of your journey
And I will be proud
To watch how far you travel
From the first moment
I held you tight in my arms
My daughter…My daughter. Mine.
