Genovive
Dearest, sweetest, Genovive, I pray that you will see,
The beauty of earth's many wonders, I pray that you'll believe.
When you look upon the ripples of the pond's great mass,
I beg that you would see your beauty, free to fly at last.
Beauty lies within your soul, and it's not hard to see,
And when you gaze at your reflection, you're gazing back at me.
Because you will be of my flesh, and you'll be of my bone,
Just remember when you glare, you're not staring alone.
When you one day are blessed to us, when our family is built,
We'll keep you safe, we'll keep you warm, wrap you in finest silks.
And if you're wondering, Genovive, if you are truely loved,
Just look down at your sweet reflection, you'll always be enough.
