Poem: |
SONG FOR MY DAUGHTERS
|
| |
Give my daughters wings to fly
In azur skies, o’er mountain high
When I’m gone and laid to rest
And grasses grow above my breast
No stone will lay within their hearts
But high above where swallow darts
Soft wings but strong will lead them on
And earth’s fast fury just a song
Give my daughters roots to stand
In earthy soil, not shifting sand
When winds may sway may they not break
When branches bend and leaves all shake
But stronger grow with every storm
For sun will surely come and warm
Each bud and branch and leaf and all
And soul will sing and heart will call
