My daughter, you've grown up so fast.
I know that I was not always there for you in the past.
Can you find it within your heart
To let us make a new start?
I was a weak man for oh so long,
But now I've found the courage to be strong.
I want to be there for you as long as I live.
I understand if it will take you quite some time to forgive.
I just hope and pray that all of your dreams come true.
My daughter, your father will never stop loving you.
