A song I wrote just before my daughter started her post-secondary journey in 2018.

Story behind the song
Written just before my daughter started university.
Lyrics
At 5:51
A new life was begun
Many lives were changed...forever
With the rising of the sun
So many things have changed
Since that sunny day in May
The hands of time keep turning
You are my living legacy
You are the very best of me
Know that I love you
As I've watched you grow to be
The person you've turned out to be
The gift that you have been to me
May regret not touch your life
As it has touched mine many times
Live your life as a life that shines
Like the Aurora Borealis
In the northern sky
So many things have changed
Since that sunny day in May
The hands of time keep turning
You are my living legacy
You are the very best of me
Know that I love you
As I've watched you grow to be
The person you've turned out to be
The gift that you have been to me
