I need to tell the story
about how you came to me
you floated by the Milky Way
out past the galaxies
You were playing with the Stars
when you heard me call your name
And in a lightning flash
my soul was not the same
You grabbed a shooting star
And hitchhiked past the Sun
and landed in my arms
in a blanket made of cotton
My sins and cares lost instantly
and everything forgotten
I look at you now
and you are the most beautiful of creatures
I'm glad we have the chance
to be one another's teachers
I wouldn't change a thing
my Indigo Blue Daughter
You're right where you belong
in my earthly living waters
I see you in the Springtime
in the Sunny Daffodils
The sun-drenched clouds above
and in the rolling pastured Hills
In see you in the mountains
of our home here in Vermont
In the passing vacant barns
that your Spirit seems to haunt
you're here in summer grass
that slips between my toes
and the crystal clear blue water
from the mountains that it flows
The birds that come to visit
in their lovely feathered styles
wink at me in passing
with familiar frozen smiles
You are the leaves that change
in fall time gloried color
In the faces of our neighbor
our sisters
and our brothers
You are the unique snowflakes
that kiss me on my face
You are everywhere I am
in every single place
We've had more than our share
of Earthly troubling woes
you always try to smile
and you barely let it show
I never have to wonder
we'll always be together
regardless where we are
no matter what the weather
This night I Lay My Earthly body
down to take a rest
to dream of all the things we've shared
inside my sleepy nest
I'll be waiting for you dear
my door is always there
A place for your sweet little heart
to rest your Earthly cares..
I Wait.
