My Child

Looking into eyes
So bright
So new
So trusting
So blue
Hopes of tomorrow
Of watching you grow
My child

Your closing eyes
Hold me
Entranced
We shall dance
The world our glory
Your life my story
My child

Those eyes of hope
Safe keeping until
You become what you will
As you grow
Letting you go
To discover the world
Always a part
A part of my heart
My child

Eyes of love
That can not be lost
I'll try
To help you be
To help you see
To help you love
And found the love
I have for you
My child

Sweet innocent eyes
A soft kiss
Goodnight
I will hold you
Hold you tight
The innocence I see
I hope will not be
Lost to the truth
My child

Your mother
