THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
PJ'S GARDEN
...where words are not enough...

with eyes as wide and beautiful
as twin Hawaiian sunsets
with lips so poised and precious
as an infant's sigh
with faith so strong and innocent
as a child's belief in god
she came to me a stranger
and left without goodbye
for she spread her wings to fly
she knew it was time to start
to live her life in her own space
a child now grown needs her own place
she took off for her life with grace
for it was time to start
but she left without goodbye
because she never left my heart

and I smiled the smile that only parents
and big brothers or sisters know
a smile full of hope and prayers
that she would continue to grow
as beautifully and wonderfully
as she grew as a child
if you've been there then you may know
exactly how and why I smiled

with eyes as wide and wonder-filled
as twin full moons at midnight
with lips set in a secure smile
and confident posture
with faith so big and passionate
the universe was watching
as she stepped out on her own
to find what her life was for
as she spreads her wings and flies
she remains all I adore
she lives her life in her own space
a young woman needs her own place
she embraces her life with grace
for it was time for more
but she left without goodbye
because we never closed the door

and she is always welcome
in my heart and home and arms
she is welcome to my breath
my life to keep her from harm
and that's the start of her story
may it take years to write
and a lifetime to complete
and may an eternal light
guide her through her every day
and darkest night
she's my gift to the world
and her gift to me
is being her beautiful self
and is being all she can be

with eyes as wide and beautiful
as the first time you could see
the beauty of the universe
the wonder of eternity
and the passion of the precious
promise sung in harmony
imagine all the people
innocent and free
sharing all the world
let it be you and me
with eyes as wide and wonder-filled
as eyes that truly see
the beauty of the heart that gives
a love that is free
