A Father's Song

by Mirna Almaz   Aug 22, 2007


I lay down on the top of my hill
Look up at the bright sky
The clouds have faces
I smile, they smile back at me
I hear the sound of the wind
It's singing a song of joy
Just like the one you sang to me

"My little dear one don�t lose hope in life,
For life is filled with hate and despair,
You create the joy you seek
Seek love and you will find it.
There will be times where you'll give up
But I raised you well
Now believe in love, smile
And head on your way"

I sit up straight on the top of my hill
Look forward and see the weary sun
It gets ready to sleep
The ocean tucks it in well
The wind still blows on
Its song never rests to a stop
Just like the one you sang to me

"My little dear one don�t be scared
There will be times where you'll sleep alone
No one to kiss you goodnight
No one to scare your fears away
The nights will be lonely and time won't pass by
But I raised you well
Now let your courage and strength guide you
And head on your way"

I stand up on the top of my hill
Look up and see the dark sky
It is filled with wonders of the night
The bright stars add a touch of beauty
I also feel the cool wind blow softly;
Its song still echoes through the silence
Just like the one you used to sing to me

"My little dear one, you are never alone
Understand I won't be here all your life
When I leave you shall see life ever so dark, But
Friends and family there, I trust your darkness will be bright
You will fall in love too and he won't let you stray
But ill always be watching you in the stars
I raised you not to forget my song
And head on your way"
