Always Yours

Since the moment I have fallen into your hand from the sky
my starlight has travelled through your veins, where it belongs
deeply enough, unifying with your love that twinkles in your eye.
Tonight, I look down to say
 I’ll be your star, always.

Since the day I have entered into your life as an angel
my wings crossed miles to reach your heart, where I belong
relaxing comfortably on your lap, the safest child’s cradle.
Tonight, I sneak up on you to say
I’ll be your little angel, always.

Since the day I have danced with you under the moonlight
on the music of your fatherly love, where my life belongs
my smile swirled with you, while you whirled around in delight
Tonight, I sing a song to say
I’ll be your princess, always.

When your eye burns in fire, or when it rains
I’ll be there for you, I’ll be yours, always.

(Father’s day week, as they say, is going on, and I will just say that my heart knew this is the right time and this is the right date.)
