**************************

my daughter sings in the shower

i cannot decipher the words

though the tune resonates inside the rhythm of the water gently descending

as my heart opens in her music cascading

i can faintly remember if i eavesdrop strong enough

through the drops past the closed door

and beyond the drops through the shower curtain

and within the drops of water deafening

remember the joy and pleasures of childhood

sounds which are distant

yet the melody is quintessential

and familiar

and as close as she is to me at this moment in time

i strain some more to discover the secrets of her happiness

hoping to rediscover mine.

as my daughter sings in the shower.

very nice,very warm, souls yearning for innocence, for the happiness we once felt, before the tears,the time, the rain, washed our dreams away

You summed it up nicely - trying to regain lost innocence you can almost connect with but just missing it.

Lovely! You can have your Dreams back jedimaster. All things are possible. Don't listen to voice that says you can't you won't. You Can, You Will, You are Everything. It's all possible!
