For Shelley, towards the end

Well, well, well,
What have we here?
It is true that
I love everything you do,
Mostly,
And a good story helps
Even the lamest of efforts, for
You are my daughter
And, in some ways, you can do no wrong
I am always proud to see your work
And it is true that I often think
You could do better
But I do have confidence
That you will do alright
In whatever you attempt
You just have to put your will to it
And persist
My faith is persistent
And what is not within my abilities
To offer my assistance,
God will see you through.
Have faith, even when things look bleek;
Be confident in your abilities
And take hand to plow and push on.
