Fisherman’s Daughter

Fisherman’s daughter born long ago,
in village on the shores of Sulu Sea.
Born in small house by the sea,
is where her first cries one could hear.

Her delighted father held her high,
showing her off to the stars.
Lord, thank you for my daughter,
I will proudly love her forever.

As the time went day by day,
he loved her dearly every day.
Later he went to Heaven to stay,
leaving his daughter with words to say.

Only God knows how I miss you father,
 my soul will love you forever and ever.
I wish I could tell you one more time,
what you meant to me in my life.

Dear messenger at the gates of Heaven,
deliver this message to her father.
Tell him there is one,
who loves his daughter as no one else.

Tell him he wants his daughter’s hand,
to cherish her and love her for all times.
Tell him he wants to hold her child,
to hold her high, as high as she once was.
