My Father's Legacy

To my seven bundles of joy

My Father opened the window one early dawn
As he heard the first cry of a new baby born
He scanned the heavens with his naked eye
And he saw a bright star in the eastern sky.

T'was aurora borealis, the goddess of dawn,
The bright morning star twinkling all alone
A beautiful sight in the morning light
A name for a girl who will shine as bright.

Aurora, Aurora, so your name it will be.
Her father said with his hand on her knee.
A beautiful name, my true legacy
To my beloved daughter,from your mother and me.
