In My Daughter's Eyes

Through all my recent battle with depression I have been going through accompanied with anxiety attacks and self-consciousness from my low self esteem as a mother (yes I think everything from this year is now just hitting me and hard) There is one thing in my life that really calms me the most - even if I do worry that someday she may also be under her own hardship and of course I will blame what I did or didn't do. I just love having a little girl and she brings so much joy to our home. What a blessing she has been in our family.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe

In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me
For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes
