about

This song came to me with the very full moon and the deep remembrance of my mothers love - a love that as an adult I didn't remember. With this moon came a flood of love and the recognition that I had always been loved.

The next day as I walked by the ocean, I began to see the mother in everything. I felt her love and I felt her presence - it was as though she had returned out of the invisible - and now the whole world could feel it...

And so intertwined with all of this was my love for my own daughter. For it is my love of her that helped me remember what it felt like to be loved - by my mother - and by all of creation...

lyrics

To my mother, from your daughter
How you held me on your knee
I would rest my head upon your heart so tenderly

To my mother, from your daughter
How your smile would light my world
& your happiness fill my spirit
so much love from your girl

To the mother of the oceans
to the mother of the stars
to the mother of the earth
to the mother of my heart

To the mother of the moon
to the mother of the breeze
to the mother of creation
How I love you endlessly

Oh my mother, there's a place now
at the table man has made
Oh my mother, I restore you
to the kingdom God has gave

To my daughter, from your mother
How I held you on my knee
and you would rest your head upon my heart so tenderly

To my daughter, from your mother
how your smile does light my world
& your happiness fills my spirit
How I love you my beautiful girl
