In My Daughter's Eyes

Every time I hear the song "In My Daughter's Eyes", I well up with tears. As a tribute to moms, sisters, aunts, and daughter's everywhere this Mother's Day, I have created this photo blog post. Several of the photos are taken by my almost-three-year-old daughter. It's truly through her eyes.
Lyrics, of course, copyright of Martina McBride.

I have embedded the youtube video for your listening convenience.


P.S. I confess to blubbering through this entire creation process.



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

This is a very cool and sweet post. I hope you publish your blog into a book. At least this post should be made into a book, I think. :)
