When she needs food
When she needs someone to read to her
When she needs someone to stay with her while she sleeps
When she keeps me up all night,
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will be protect her.

When she holds my hand
When she squeals with delight
When she points exitedly at the doggy across the street
When she asks for one of her own
When we make forts in the living room
When she brings home her new friend
When she throws a tantrum
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will be there for her.

When she starts understanding life
When she needs help
When she needs distance
When someone hurts her,
Whether intentional or not
When she asks for help with what to wear,
Then scoffs at what I suggest
I smirk because,
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will help her.

When she reaches high school
And enters a whole new section of life
When she becomes distant
When she doesn't understand
When she lashes out
When she breaks down
When she doesn't know where to go
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will love her.

When she grows up
And continues to grow
When she takes more and more steps in life
And when I have to sit down
When she smiles at me,
With tears in her eyes,
And a smile on her face
When she finally understands
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will be happy for her.

When she gets married
When she has her own little girl
When she beams,
I am proud
When she thanks me for everything I've done
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I will appreciate her.

When she's holding my hand,
Beside my bed
When she's crying,
I will smile and brush her hair out of her face,
Wiping her tears away
When she says she loves me,
And she means it
When I say it back,
And mean it
Even then,
She is my girl.
And I love her.
