It tore my heart open, filled it with guilt.
May I never see the sight again;
The day my daughter was sad.
They say a child is close to The Lord,
I never truly understood until that day;
The day my daughter was sad.
At seven weeks she knew what it meant to be at the temple.
At seven weeks she knew what it meant when we left.
The day my daughter was sad.
Such profound sorrow and despair
Were more than my heart could bear;
The day my daughter was sad.
She came to us, untethered and unbound,
Trusting in us not to fail, as I have
The day my daughter was sad.
Those sad eyes admonish me to act,
I vow to never fail her again, as I did
The day my daughter was sad.
Despite the adversity and trials, I continue my eternal climb:
"Holiness to the Lord, the House of the Lord;"
The day my daughter will be glad!
