She plays a melody on my heartstrings
Then replaces them with ribbon
That she found in her pocket
Now she's singing
Quietly to herself
Suddenly her made up song
Is my new favorite sound
Now she's dancing
She's the only star I see in daylight
I'll ride her smile like a rocket
And I'll bring back the sun
Tied to purple string
That she can wear like a locket
So she can open it and spread around the warmth
Like her laughter
Just like the wind in her hair
As she runs to show me
Everything good in the world
That she keeps in her eyes
Where she keeps secrets that mean nothing
Hidden in the wonder that lies there
If home is where the heart is
Then my home is in her hands
The ones that close around mine
And remind me why I breathe
Why I wake up every day and want to hear her heart
Beat like millions of drums
The rhythm that I love the most
As we hold each other together
I'm the paper, she's the glue
We make a book
That she scribbles on in crayon
Telling me a story with her pictures
Telling me her dreams before she has them
Telling me to keep trying
And for her I will
For her I can
For her I DO
Everyday
Though the distance makes it harder
But not impossible
Nothing is impossible
When you love her.
