Watch the years go by.

A heart so full, open and true
A quality possessed by so few
As a family tragedy did unfold
You put your dreams and hopes on hold

Your concentrating on home and hearth
Only proved to be a deviation in your path
With your talent once again on show
A career blossomed, with only one way to go

Nothing but pure effort, no time to sit
Came the first of many a hit
Some plans seem to go astray
Only to come to fruition another day

Once success finally came, you stayed the same
Even then, you never forgot from whence you came
Supporting children that are hungry and distressed
Once again you prove that you are a cut above the rest

Through your music and actions you have touched my heart
Alas, we are from different worlds, miles apart
Aging slowly long lost stirrings once again are being felt
The ice encompassing my heart is beginning to melt

With the exception of my daughter and mother
I allow myself feelings for no other
Leaving you on the pedestal which I have you on, way up high
Time for me to sit back, enjoy your work and watch the years go by.
