Wind For My Daughter

Wind, speak to me as you blow From childhood I have marveled your flow Singing with the leaves to make the trees dance. You have caressed my cheeks Made whispers on my lips Now that I am grown. I have seen you carry birds to the sky Where there they dance when they fly Bringing words to my mind and lips. You have blown calm In my heart made charm Reminding me that life can be cool sometimes. Wind, in you I met my first love Where I sung songs like a dove Her to please and impress. The many little secrets you hold Of promises I made and was told Today she is my wife and partner.. I stand in your breeze today My little daughter with me watching your ways As you travel to and fro. I hand over her to you With her innocence where life is new To watch over her days as she grows.
