Thread Name: The Songs Writ for our Kids
Subject: RE: The Songs Writ for our Kids
I wrote this for Hammerite when she was about five-ish. She has grey eyes that seem to take up whatever colour they like & at the time they had a lemon/blue tinge.
It has a slow gentle tune. I never used to be able to sing it to her though, because she always filled up with tears when I got to the 'I am old' bit. Daft little moo!

Storm grey eyes
Lemon blue, pure & true
I see warm day skies
Coming through & shining on you.

Cornfield hair
Flying free in the breeze
There is more light there
Than the sun ever shone on me

(middle 8 thingy)
I am old but I cannot grow dim
While you shine in my eyes
I will watch, I will wait, I will wonder
What wonder transpires

Strong like the land
Like the clay & the soil & the sand
Stretch out your hand
All the world is yours to command

(middle 8 thingy)
I am old but I cannot grow dim
While you shine in my eyes
I will watch, I will wait, I will wonder
What wonder transpires

Storm grey eyes
Lemon blue



Ah! Brings back happy memories.....
