These are song lyrics by Vicki McCrone. She is the daughter of my late friend Maryanne.
This is for my daughter.
One by one your senses come alive
but you know it doesn't happen overnight.
So stop your worrying about wondering why
it took so long for the season to arrive
'cause you know you've got to keep on moving on,
you've come such a long, long way.
Hang your hat on the moon my daughter
Don't give up til it's time to give up,
just hang your hat on the moon.
It will come - all it takes is a little time
all it takes is knowing there is something more
so what is all this crying for - it won't be long,
I can see it in your eyes.
I can see you've got to keep on moving on.
You're not that far away.
In the dark it would come to try to take the dream away
but it's a different day now,
and you're wide awake now.
In the dawn will be what you have wanted all along
As if it always was - don't ever give it up.
Just hang your hat on the moon , my daughter.
Hang your hat on the moon.

Wonderful lyrics filled with truly wonderful advice!
That's quite beautiful. I hope it helps your daughter with whatever transition she's going through.
as the dad of two remarkable young ladies, I know it's especially important to encourage daughters--I'm going to point them to your blog--I've enjoyed my visit here
you're so blessed to have a daughter and your daughter is so blessed to have someone like you.
I'd emulate you with a daughter toO!BTW!

"....Just hang your hat on the moon."
I appreciate this!
Your daughter has one very special mom. I hope she reads this over and over again, what a beautiful poem to give to her!
Thanks, Mom. I've said it before, but I have the best mom ever. Love you.
