A Daughter

A daughter~ Believe in the space between us, and in the force that ties us in. We never have to try for who we are as one. Like the tide to the moon and the fierceness of the sun. I’d wipe your tears from heaven for my hand is already there I’ll be blind forever, it will never be the same. Y ou changed my view on everything, now all the worlds beauty is in your name If only I had an island far off in the sea... And a blaze of fire around you and me But, I hear the horns out in the distance and the fierceness of the sun I think your ship is coming in baby then, with your finger wrapped around mine, and your little head up on my chest I wake up from a dream, there goes little girl, my baby is 16 ....
