"A Mother and Her Daughter"

As I walked down my path

The wind whispered your name thru the leaves

"Jeanine"

Flowers beside me carried the scent of you

A wish I had for so long

A mother and her daughter

Nightmares

Replaced by dreams of what you would become

As visions of your spirit

Danced inside my soul

There is no greater love

A mother and her daughter

Your beauty:

Art no painter can illustrate

No songstress can serenade

A story no writer can pen

A secret no one can disclose

A mother and her daughter

My body will decay

And return to the earth

Dust to dust

But my soul you will carry with you

Infinitely

A bond unbreakable

By time

A mother and her daughter

For my Daughter, Jeanine
