My Daughter Tabitha The first time I saw your face I saw the sun rise in your eyes The moon and stars were gifts to you Gifts that are meant for all time The first time ever I kissed your cheek I felt the earth rumble beneath my feet My heart trembled as a captive bird The tear in my eye, a sign of my un-dying love The first time ever I held you close I felt your heart beat, in rhythm with mine I knew my joy would over run this earth And last 'till the end of time The last time I saw your face I experienced the tears your eyes I felt the earth tremble beneath my feet I wished I could have given you the stars above Today I see your face as the very first day I hold your heart so close to mine to feel as one Today the earth is still and silent beneath my feet I rest in knowing you are at peace. Your Loving Father
