      Each tear that you cried broke me in two,

      never will I be able to express my love to you.

      From heaven, you came, bringing stars to my eyes.

      And each time you smile you brighten the sky. 

      Your feelings so deep, so dark but so true.

      My daughters, always be, authentically you!

      With everlasting love, to Asia and Nikita.
