CHILD OF MY HEART

CHILD OF MY HEART

I loved the times when you were small

And you depended on me,

For all the things that life could bring.

And you sat upon my knee.

And yet I love these adult days

When before me I can see,

A beautiful young woman

Passionate and sweet,

Who brings me love and laughter

And flowers at my feet.

I love to sit and chat a while

And see your lovely face,

The changes from the child I knew ~

The beautiful adult in her place.

I see your confidence and strength

And I watch you with great pride,

Your sensitivity and tenderness

Brings joy which I can't hide.

I sense in you contentment,

Love and sweet release,

It is all that I could have hoped for,

A quiet solitude and peace.

Your Dad and I adore you,

And cherish the times we spend,

I wish you love and laughter

And joys that never end.
