In My Daughters Eyes

By Martina McBride

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero

I am strong and wise and I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I want to be

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes

Everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light

And the world is at peace

This miracle God gave to me

Gives me strength when I'm weak

I find reason to believe

In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your hearts had enough

It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up

I've seen the light

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes

I can see the future

A reflection of who I am

And what we'll be

And though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone I hope you'll see

How happy she made me

For I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes

This song says it all and so much more. The bond my daughter and I share is something I never realized could be so life altering. She really has completed me in so many ways. She is a shining star everywhere she goes, she can just light up a room. Genesis melts my heart with happiness. I am so grateful for the love of a daughter.

Genesis loves her big brother more than anything I think. She wants to do everything he does, and she lives to please him. They take care of eachother and I am so proud to see their relationship get closer with each passing day. I remember when I found out I was pregnant, I thought it was near tragic to have them so so close together. God showed me once again how wrong I was. They are the best little tag team I have ever witnessed together.

She is a girly girl and all I ever dreamed of in a daughter. Gen loves her purses (filled with all sorts of girlie trinkets might I add, lotion, lip gloss, a brush, body spray, oh yeah the whole nine yards. If you thought you were going to find a Barbie in there or something then you found the wrong toddlers purse!) She will break many hearts one day including her daddy's. Clothes is an addiction for her I have noticed, this will surely turn into trouble in the next few years. For now I am delighted that if we go to a store, while her brother asks for a toy, she really wants those shorts or that dress! She loves all the Disney Princesses, but I think her faves are Sleeping Beauty and Ariel. But you should see her dressed as Belle, wow, she looks a lot like her! Genesis also loves bling - bling. Yes, that is what her auntie taught her to call it (yikes) but she loves it! She especially loves her Aunt Kiki's bling, all colors and shapes and sizes. She steals them when she can!

Genesis you and your brother walk around with my heart in your hand, you make everything right. I strive to be everything you see in me baby girl. I love you.
