Dear Daisy, Theme Song and Path




Theme Song, "Dear Daisy" composed by Hiroshi Takatani
(video features final instrumental version)

June 2010, the song, "Dear Daisy" was born.

Based on the book Dear Daisy by Jane Marla Ver Dow

Though the years they may change us
Some things in life forever remain
Like those years we spent together
Living life its joys and pain

You taught me all 'bout honesty
How the truth would set me free
Like a teacher you inspired me
Each day beneath that Cherry tree

Chorus)
Now "Dear Daisy" as I write this letter
Though eyes can't see I know you're there
I feel your presence surround me
Your angel wings as they brush my hair

Your smile my summer mornin' Sun
Your wisdom my guide no end
Your actions more than words spoken
Showed me I had a special friend

(Chorus)
Now "Dear Daisy" as I write this letter
Though eyes can't see I know you're there
I feel your presence surround me
Your angel wings as they brush my hair

(Bridge)
Say everything now there's a reason
Not in ours but in God's time
A path our lasting friendship
Enough love to last a lifetime

(Chorus)
Now "Dear Daisy" as I write this letter
Though eyes can't see I know you're there
I feel your presence surround me
Your angel wings as they brush my hair

"Dear Daisy"

"Dear Daisy"


"A dream of a child from under a cherry tree...

that came to be under an apple tree...

For everything there is a season"

~ Jane Marla VerDow, Rising Sparrow



"Childhood is nothing more than, absolutely nothing less than, the courage to discover for the first time with innocence and openness, the faith and passion to explore the next, and the inner wisdom to sense the value of each moment along the path."

~ Jane Marla VerDow, Dear Daisy


In honor of Daisy, Author, Jane Marla VerDow will be donating 10% of all "Dear Daisy" book sales to Love Is The Answer to assist HIV/AIDS orphaned children of Uganda.
