Daughter of the Heart
Daughter of The Heart (written from a woman's perspective)
When you wondered if we could be friends
I wanted the idea to make me glad
Yet inside I felt a twinge of sad
Part of me felt bad
For I know I cannot be
I wish to offer something with more substantiality
For I know our relationship has much more complexity.
My desire is to usher you towards your serenity
I want you to know I'm still here
Even though you are moving
Don't worry or fear
To me you will always be dear
Listen with your heart not with ears
I feel your anxiety and share your tears
Let me reflect back your strength like a million mirrors
For I have witnessed your amazing all these years
You truly are
my daughter of the heart
Always with me even when we're apart
New beginnings are important
I celebrate your fresh start
Knowing you are strong
I'm confident you'll be okay
For your happiness I will continue to pray
Navigate life's adventure
enjoy the music you play
travel on ruby slippers
Walk amidst the light this way
At night bask in moonlit wonder
Off beaten paths don't be afraid to stray
Shadows evaporate
night always gives way to day
Tell me about your adventures
No detail too small
For I will cherish it all
Stand tall
Follow your heart's call
Drink from crystal clear streams
Dance in the glow of moonbeams
Life can be the stuff of all your dreams
