Daughter of the Sea
Tell her you'll love her for an eternity
What do you tell a daughter of the sea?
Do you tell her she will always be blue?
Tell her you'll love her for an eternity.
✯✯✯
When the tide calls and she longs to be free,
How will you keep her heart on land with you?
What do you tell a daughter of the sea?
✯✯✯
The sea's touch is a sweet epiphany
When the waves take her what is there to do?
Tell her you'll love her for an eternity.
✯✯✯
The sea represents all that she could be
Are you sure that your love for her is true?
What do you tell a daughter of the sea?
✯✯✯
Loving the sea's daughter is not easy,
The salt air lays claim to her before you
Tell her you'll love her for an eternity.
✯✯✯
When the day comes, will you let her go free?
Will you trust her to return back to you?
What do you tell a daughter of the sea?
Tell her you'll love her for an eternity.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
