When she looks back I want her to see smiles And a hand outstretched Which threw her into something better I want her to know that she can crumble but never be dissipated That she can fall but never be swallowed up By the contours of the cracks In the sidewalk Which lead her to something new I want her to know that the tears that she cry will be fallen drops of rain That silently collect dew in the morning That all silence is not golden And all words are powerful She can take a breath and realize the air she breathes is polluted But I know that when she breathes out it will be pure Because by her lips a new era will be born again She is the change When she meets someone who makes her feel full She knows she can easily feed herself Happiness is not on the end of someone else But on the end of following passion She is the fire of a generation That can realize when she doesn’t know what she wants I want her to know that she can discover herself in others That she can find what she needs in the juice that is squeezed from her labor The labor of love that provides passion Which fuels the engine of her existence She is meant for so much more than what she knows I want her to know all of this and that she is loved So much that she cannot know the depths Of the things I will do for her

A Message to My Future Daughter
When she looks back I want her to see smiles And a hand outstretched Which threw her into something better I want her to know that she can crumble but never be dissipated That she can fall but never be swallowed up By the contours of the cracks In the sidewalk Which lead her to something new I want her to know that the tears that she cry will be fallen drops of rain That silently collect dew in the morning That all silence is not golden And all words are powerful She can take a breath and realize the air she breathes is polluted But I know that when she breathes out it will be pure Because by her lips a new era will be born again She is the change When she meets someone who makes her feel full She knows she can easily feed herself Happiness is not on the end of someone else But on the end of following passion She is the fire of a generation That can realize when she doesn’t know what she wants I want her to know that she can discover herself in others That she can find what she needs in the juice that is squeezed from her labor The labor of love that provides passion Which fuels the engine of her existence She is meant for so much more than what she knows I want her to know all of this and that she is loved So much that she cannot know the depths Of the things I will do for her
