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
