Frances is 5!

In My Daughter's Eyes
by James T. Slater

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 want to 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 hanging 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 

And 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

Because Mr. Slater (and Martina McBride) said it better than I ever could, this song is dedicated to my incredible daughter who turns five today.

Happy Birthday, Frances!
Love, Mommy
