Let Her Learn

by: Nicole Upchurch
for Kristin, Dawn, and Moira

The wind blew softly spreading your message of music to my ears
And Little girl with spirit untainted dances and twirls
Then you came over and showered me with hugs,
Not of lust but of love and strong women with beautiful babies are singing,
"don't cry your mama's here. . . your mama's here"

oh, i’m grateful for my family
oh, linked not by blood but by unity

you caught my babe in the water, guess she's just like me
let her come up slowly, let her learn how to breath
and by living your life unafraid of the mystery
inadvertently, you give permission to me to do the same

oh, i’m grateful for my family
oh, linked not by blood but by unity

The sun shone warmly revealing each other's faces,
And I can see from you smile, wrinkles form in all the right places.
And your breath is a gift to me,
And to anyone else willing to see.
You're ageless.
You're ageless.

Oh, i’m grateful for my family
Oh, linked not by blood but by unity

Oh... Oh...
