Song Playing is "I Will Always Love You"
First Lesson
Lie
back daughter, let your head
be tipped back in the
cup of my hand.
Gently, and I will hold you.
Spread
your arms wide, lie out on the stream
and
look high at the gulls. A dead-
man's float is face
down. You will dive
and swim soon enough where this
tidewater
ebbs to the sea. Daughter, believe
me,
when you tire on the long thrash
to your island, lie
up, and survive.
As you float now, where I held
you
and let go, remember when fear
cramps your
heart what I told you:
lie gently and wide to the
light-year
stars, lie back, and the sea will hold
you.
