In my daughters eyes

Little me as a little one...and Elle....in the pics above.

Our photographer for Elle's newborn pictures put all of the images on a DVD to music. It was really quite touching and the song they chose was well, let's say, perfect. The song is one I have liked for many years but now it's really very fitting for me when I read through the lyrics. Not only do they mention that she was sent to rescue me and it's hanging on when your heart has had enough but mainly the words at the end of the song are what I relate to the most. When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me, for I'll be there in my daughers eyes. I think of my Mom when I hear those words. I know how happy I made my own Mom (I hope) and I know when family looks at me, they also see my Mom through my eyes. I just wish her and I talked about it more, how happy I made her even through the challenging teenage years. I really dedicate this song to both Elle and my Mom. The lyrics are so real and true to me.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light and theworld is at peace

This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe.... In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future

A reflection of who I am and what will be

Though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me

For I'll be there....In my daughter's eyes
