Chapter 12: Daddy Can You See Me
Mina was walking along the garden in the back of the manor they were staying at. They would leave the next day to cross the divide. She was suffering from a lot of homesickness. But it was nothing new, ever since she had been banished she had wanted to go home. But now that she knew he hadn't meant it, that he didn't hate her... She was completely and utterly confused. She sighed and continued walking down the path until she's in the center of the garden, she kneels next to a pond and runs her hand over the surface of the water.
She had gotten her voice back, she had realized that the night Toby died. She sighed, singing was a way they dealt with their feelings. Not just a means of entertainment. She felt a song rising inside of her, the pain she was feeling, the fear, the confusion all forming into a song that now flowed through the air.
"Momma gives birth to a little child
Daddy waits, with a patient smile
They tell him what he's brought into this world
They all can tell she'll be Daddy's Girl
He hears her voice as she starts to cry
He looks down at her and tears fall from his eyes
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day
He swears he hears her say
Daddy, can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say
I've got your hands, your eyes, and your hair
And this little thing you call a teddy bear
I'll do what I can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?
He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys.
No one can break these ties that bind,
We've got a bond that's precious and dear
And it's stayed the same through all these years
As I get older and time goes by
He's got a shoulder, if I need to cry
And when I think that I'm doing okay
I look at him and then I say
Daddy can you see me
Daddy can you hear the words I say
I've got your hands your eyes and your hair
And I still hold on to my teddy bear
I'll do what I can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?" She stood from the ground and looked up at the sky, tears filling her own eyes.
"I look to the heavens for some kind of signs, for you tell me I'm doing fine
And every night when I kneel down to pray
I wonder if you'll hear me say..." She took a long pause and a deep breath.
"Daddy, can you see me
Daddy... can you hear the words I say...
My life has changed since you went away
And I need to know if I'm doing okay
I've done all I can to make you proud..
Daddy can you see me now?
Oh, I've done all I can to make you proud.
Daddy, can you see me now?"
The tears fell down her cheeks and into the ground and the crystal around her neck glowed slightly. She laughed a little and wrapped her hand around it.
Singing was also a means of communication.
