I Watched My Daughter Walk Away

I honestly don't know how to be okay
I'm trying to make it through each day....

I watched my daughter walk away

She left the life she's come to know
Wanting to see what the world could show
Not content with the way we live
She wants to see what the world can give

I sit here with a pain I cannot express
All I know is my heart's in distress
Life goes on around me like nothing's changed
I try to go on, but I feel so strange

One moment I'm fine going about my day
The next I'm in tears with nothing to say
Then I'm overcome with fears about my child
While the thoughts in my mind are running wild

She no longer calls, nor does she write
She's enjoying herself in her new found flight
Surrounded by people who are all the same
She's a new piece happily playing the game

With no thought of others, she said goodbye
She lives for herself, believing the lie
Thinking she can live for selfish gain
But in the end, it will cause her pain

I lost my daughter to a life of sin
While the enemy sits & wears a grin
But I will not give her up that way
I cry out to God every time I pray

But still....

I honestly don't know how to be okay
I'm trying to make it through each day....
