Love...May It Always Be

 I've run into the Ocean

Baptized in the cold fresh salt

Wearing my skin and my soul

Feeling the freedom my heart beats for.

Surrounded by my sisterhood,

Mother, sister, my heart's dearest friends,

Love...may it always be

May it always be.

Bathing in the sunshine

Beauty all around

Living the life I was made for,

Oh daughter of mine

I see it in you too

As I've grown and stretched

Mourned and was healed

Love...may it always be

May it always be

The call to freedom

The Ocean sings

You hear it too

And so we live the dream together

Your grandmother, you, your aunty and I

Heeding the call to live

To create, to indulge, to enjoy

To run into the embrace

Of freedom and life

Love...may it always be

May it always be.

For a friend on her birthday
