In my daughter's eyes

When her small lil fingers reached out and grabbed my index finger, I sensed a strong connection between us. Then she looked at me with a big smile. My heart went melted. She definitely knew her way on me. She was such a lil angel who came off and on to remind me that work was not all about stress but about passion. Even though she had a hole in the heart, she was generous enough to heal my heart that very moment. She was the reason why I wanted to climb higher so that I could go on protect others like her when everyone was telling me that the world won't change no matter how hard I try.

Many times parents keep telling their children how lucky they were to have parents comparing those of the orphans. Children were reminded to be grateful and be filial to their parents, no matter how bad their parents had treated them, no matter if they were abandoned at young age, they are still the parents. Children should always listen and live up to their parents' expectation because parents know all, and there's no happiness other than parents' happiness.

But how many of us who had become parents asked ourselves, if we were really lucky to have our children to be with us today. There are thousands if not millions in this world who had been trying to have kids but to no avail. Who had fought so hard to sustain the child in the womb but ended up another dead child for the third time. How many of us go to bed every night and thank God for these precious gifts of all?

To the selfless mums and dads in the world, allow me to present this song to you:

IN MY DAUGHTER'S EYES

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 wanna 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 am 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 heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving 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 will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
