Having just endured a few years where creative juices and inspiration deserted me, I have become a grandfather for the first time. Its only appropriate that this special occasion should be the trigger in my life to motivate me to write again. So this song, "She is Hope" is written about the beautiful grand daughter my Son and Daughter In-law have produced ( I only produce songs these days ).
Its a song straight from the heart so as such I present with just piano and bass as accompaniment. I feel the stripped back acoustic arrangement will better focus the attention on my vocal that hiding it away amid a full production. This is a special song for me, one of only three I have ever written. My first was when my father in-law died, the second was when I feared I may die and I wrote a goodbye to my wife and of course this one.

She is Hope
=========
VERSE ONE
It rained and rained for days and days
but the weather broke when she was born
With jet black hair and skinny legs
her pretty face arrived in the morn'
CHORUS
She is loved
she is soft as soap
she's cherished
She is Hope
VERSE TWO
Her tiny nose and wrinkly toes
a perfect babe in every way
Her dark black eyes brimmed with surprise
A miracle has come to stay
CHORUS
She is loved
She is soft as Soap
She's cherished
She is Hope
BRIDGE
Her father loves her
And her mother loves her strong
Her nanny loves her
And her Poppa loves her so much that he even wrote this song
CHORUS
She is loved
She is soft as soap
She's cherished
She is Hope
She is loved
She is soft as soap
She's cherished
She is Hope
