First-Time Mother’s Joy

Everywhere you turn you are
Surrounded by the sound of winter's song
Everything is frozen and, only the swans
Have chosen to be strongThe skies are all a big commotion
Somewhere the birds are all in motion
(Yearning to be back)
And home where they belongAn the love you once thought
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
And right in front of youAnd look at you now
You're flying too
You're flying tooSoon the dormant patient roots
Will show themselves as childish shoots
(Watered by the tears)
Of a first-time mother's joyLittle streams of consciousness
They tumble over rocks they kiss
(Unafraid of who they are)
Of what will happen nextAnd the love you once thought
(You once thought)
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
(All along)
And in ways you never knewAnd the birds you once thought
(You once thought)
Long gone ahead of you you
They were there all along
And right in front of youAn look at you now
You're flying too
