Elly

A lightning strike

At the hour of two

A flash from heaven

Elly, it was you

Three years to make

Many wishes upon stars

From pain came beauty

This creation of ours

One part Jim

One part Audrey

A little pixie dust

A spirit  wild and free

A gaze into space -- a philosopher?

A coo from your lip -- a singer?

A roll of your head -- a dancer?

A stare into my eyes -- I shiver

Dance when you can

Sing when your spirit rings

Love often and love well

Embrace everything life brings

Some day in the future

With your blessings in tow

Remember your first day

And how I loved you so
