17th day

New story to be told

1967

Sweet baby girl

Came out of mother's shelter

And into this world

May GOD please be with you

Help you make it through

Now your days will start

With the first beat of your gentle heart

Warm spring days

Wonders all surround

Brown eyed gaze

A butterfly you have found

You look up and see the beauty

While others stare down at the ground

Walk through the wet grass

You take in all the sounds

May GOD please be with you

Help you make it through

In this world you play a part

You brighten it with your gentle heart

Hot summer night

Years have passed by

World weighs in on you

Darkens your eyes

Now you are the mother

You watch your children grow

You are constantly surrounded

But you still feel alone

May GOD please see you through

His presence be with you

Though the world tries to tear you apart

May God project your gentle heart

Summer's ended

You had to leave

The house was no longer a home

You needed to be free

A new life awaits you

A future unknown

Path widing on

But your never trully alone

GOD will see you through

Watch over all you do

Now your new life will start

Keep true to your gentle heart

17th day

So many stories to be told

It's your birthday today

You Look back on your life

I'm here with you

It feels so right

GOD is here with us it's true

Helps you make it through

I see all the wonders He imparts

When I look into your eyes and see your gentle heart

I love you and your gentle heart
