Hanamizuki

Hanamizuki

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me,
Please trust I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow'r, I'd give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Legacy of an adopted child

Once there were two women
Who never knew each other
One you do not remember
The other you call mother.

Two different lives,
Shaped to make yours one
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun.

The first gave you life
And the second taught you to live in it
The first gave you need for love
And the second was there to give it.

One gave you nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim

One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first smile
The other dried your tears

One gave you up
It was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me through your tears
The age old question through the years
Heredity or environment - 
Which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling, - neither.
Just two different kinds of LOVE.
