Anne’s manager Krista here. We come to the end of the Dora lyrics/poems today… I hope you’ve enjoyed reading all of Claire Clubes’s gorgeous words! Here’s the final song, written for her daughter Bess, “Chink of Light.”
Chink of Light
You cracked me open
A chink of light
And I stayed that way
I used to watch you sleep
You’d talk out loud in your dreams
And I hoped
Time would go slow
So I’d remember everything
I was afraid I wouldn’t get it right
And often I didn’t get it right
We used to play in the garden
And you’d wear your fairy wings
And I hoped
Time would go slow
So I’d remember
Foolishness first
Wisdom next
The daily path never ends
Just like my love for you
They way you were it was set
You watched close and were loyal to the end
My shy little girl who’d line up her shoes
Is her own woman now
And I hope
Time will go slow
So you’ll remember everything
Every miraculous moment
Every hard mistake
Called by the Kraals in the Valley
May we be fearless ‘til our last days
I hope time will go slow
So you’ll remember
I hope time will go slow
So we’ll remember
Foolishness first
Wisdom next
The daily path never ends
Just like my love for you
