Dawn

We are standing tall and proud Couragous, determined, independent Like my Father, we share these traits A gift from him to thee But he is he and I am me He called me Dawn Our hair is gold, eyes are green Passionate, understanding, liberal Analogous to my Mother It's very plain to see But she is she and I am me She calls me Dawn On bended knee prayers are said Enlightened, spiritual, honest Grandma and Grandpa taught me these Held within a memory But they are they and I am me They called me Dawn We soar among the Heavens Free-spirited, adventurous, carefree Qualities shared with my Uncle Between us mountains and the sea But he is he and I am me He calls me Dawn We are bound by love and blood Inner-strength, devotion, admiration Like my sister, we are as one Yet have our own identity For she is she and I am me She calls me Dawn Together we rise each morning Radiating, glorious, breathtaking As daybreak we start anew Spreading our light and warmth For I am you and you are me We call each other Dawn
