This is the earliest song I can think of that I sang to Lily when she was a baby. I distinctly remember singing it over and over again in our dark bathroom, standing half asleep with the faucet running because the sound of running water soothed her when she was upset. I sang it with hopes that I will be someone in her life on whose opinion she can rely when she is feeling self-doubt or just generally low about life. Sometimes, at those times, it can be helpful to trust those who love you and try to see how you are seen by them.
If you are reading this, Lily, I've always seen you as perfection. A radiant beam of light full of life and love who has shown me happiness I never thought possible, and who has taught me to be more creative and to listen better, and to be a generally better person.
I may add more to this at a later time, but now it's time to let the song speak for itself.
