Blue Eyes

This is about family.......

Your Blue eyes are the product of centuries.....
Prussians banner of royalty
Are blue....
Since time began....
It was the Vikings and warriors....
Who left their sign behind......

Your family had a mother
Who tamed a warrior...
In days beyond history so long ago
With her smile and love...
She tamed him......

He gave her his protection...
She gave him a daughter
Her blue eyes....
He so loved her...His daughter.....

But more than that
She gave her her smile
No matter how much
The sorrow to come...

Deep within this child
Held a truth....long held
By Chieftains and Pagans....
That love.....and tenderness
Is a gift passed on....forever.

From your mother
To her mother...from her
Son....to his mother...
And to you.....

Centuries don't measure time.....
And why should you....
Your Blue eyes and smile
And sweet heart.....

Come from a time
When nothing else mattered
With out love....life
Did not matter....

Now it is today...
and Rhiannon is our joy.....
Her blue eyes...
