Oh,
Matildah
My
heart,
my
joy
Listen
to
me
now,
my
child
From
the
very
first
day
that
you
entered
this
world
I
knew
my
life
had
changed,
my
precious
little
girl
I
held
you
in
my
arms,
I
whispered
to
the
stars
I
promised
I
would
heal
every
one
of
your
scars
I
watched
you
grow,
I
watched
you
find
your
way
And
I’
ve
loved
you
more
with
every
passing
day
No
matter
where
you
go,
or
what
the
world
might
say
My
love
for
you
is
anchored,
it
will
never
sway
Matildah
Chifunda,
you’
re
the
pride
of
my
soul
Having
you
as
my
daughter
makes
my
spirit
whole
I
love
you
my
child,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
I’
m
with
you
forever,
let
the
healing
begin
May
God
bless
your
path
in
everything
you
do
Every
step
you
take,
may
His
light
shine
through
I
hear
the
whispers
moving
like
the
wind
through
the
trees
Trying
to
plant
shadows,
trying
to
bring
me
to
my
knees
They
bring
false
accusations,
trying
to
break
the
bond
But
our
love
is
deeper
than
any
dark
beyond
Don’
t
let
them
fill
your
mind
with
stories
untrue
Your
father’
s
heart
is
honest,
he
lives
just
for
you
Ignore
the
noise
of
people
who
don't
know
our
past
Our
love
is
a
fortress
that
is
built
to
last
Matildah
Chifunda,
you’
re
the
pride
of
my
soul
Having
you
as
my
daughter
makes
my
spirit
whole
I
love
you
my
child,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
I’
m
with
you
forever,
let
the
healing
begin
May
God
bless
your
path
in
everything
you
do
Every
step
you
take,
may
His
light
shine
through
I
know
the
road
is
long,
and
sometimes
it
gets
cold
But
you
have
a
story
that
is
waiting
to
be
told
Stand
tall,
stand
proud,
walk
into
your
light
I
am
always
here
to
keep
you
safe
at
night
God
bless
your
hands,
your
heart,
and
your
mind
A
love
like
ours
is
one
of
a
kind
Matildah
Chifunda,
you’
re
the
pride
of
my
soul
Having
you
as
my
daughter
makes
my
spirit
whole
I
love
you
my
child,
through
the
thick
and
the
thin
I’
m
with
you
forever,
let
the
healing
begin
May
God
bless
your
path
in
everything
you
do
Every
step
you
take,
may
His
light
shine
through
I
love
you,
Matildah
Always
remember,
from
the
day
you
were
born
You
are
my
heart
God
bless
you,
my
daughter
Always
your
father (
