From the recording Daughters
My giant-hearted cousin asked me to put music to a beautiful poem that she wrote for her 3 daughters. Mission accomplished, with a hopeful and joyful vibe!
Lyrics
Eyes that wonder
Wonderful eyes
In blue, brown, and multi too
Observant
Soulful
Tender often
Twinkling with humor
I search them
To absorb
The joys and shadows
Of their days
Daughters, my daughters
Once sweet and innocent
Tiny and vulnerable
Now gentle women
Down to earth
Resilient
A source of light
And inspiration
Hands that heal
Creative and
Musical hands that touch the world
Gracious hands that
Give and Receive
Hands that hold
And embrace
I've held their
Hands so tight
With love
Then let them go
We laugh and cry
Dance and sing
We love no matter what
My heart is full
So grateful for
My strong, beautiful daughters
I thank you for the love you've returned to me
Hearts that hear
Selfless hearts
Layered with empathic love
Expansive hearts
That guide with
Compassion
Seeking good
My own heart
Bursts with pride
A witness of
Courageous love
Daughters, my daughters
Once sweet and innocent
Tiny and vulnerable
Now gentle women
Down to earth
Resilient
A source of light
And inspiration
