In My Daughter's Eyes

There's this once song I chanced upon in one of the online forums I participated in while I was on maternity leave more than two years ago. The title is "In My Daughter's Eyes" and it was sung by Martina McBride. Given that I was a new mom then, this song easily became a staple in my music collection. And up to this very day it still brings an overwhelming feeling of fulfillment knowing that God has chosen me to being this very special blessing into this world.




In My Daughter's Eyes
by Martina McBride

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
