Rhiannon rings

The song Rhiannon, by Fleetwood Mac, is an awesome song that I've admired since I discovered it a few years ago. My daughter, Rhiannon, was not named after the Fleetwood Mac song. But I named my baby girl Rhiannon because it suits her. The name means goddess, great queen, horse-tamer, and if you met her, you'd see how strong and mighty she is. She came out roaring, and yes babies do cry when they come out, but her cry was fierce. As I watch this little person grow and develop, she shows me how big her personality is. I never knew that my baby would not just be mine, but all her own. All hail queen Rhiannon!

"Rhiannon" by Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win

Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover

All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win
Will you ever win

Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
