My child I pray for you

That you may grow up strong

So that you can face the things you must

My child I pray for you

That you may grow up wise

So that you can chose the path right for you

My child I pray for you

That you may grow up kind

So that you can help those less fortunate

My child I pray for you

That you may grow up loving

So that you can love even when you hate

My child I pray all these things

For you, but most of all I pray that you

Know that your mother loves you very much
