my child – Guiding The Young Ones

I prayed every bedtime,

For a special child like you.

And when I saw your sweet face,

No one else’s would do.

Your skin was all wrinkled,

Your lip all tucked in.

Just seeing you was,

The happiest I’ve been.

You’ve cried and you yelled

You’ve pooped and been sick.

Youve thrown the odd tantrum,

And thrown the odd fit.

But if you ask if I love you,

Of course I always do.

There is nobody on earth,

Quite as special as you.

I love every freckle,

I love every curl.

I love every giggle,

You are my whole world.

I love every second with you,

I treasure each smile,

You’re my reason for living,

You make life worthwhile.

But you’re growing up quickly,

And soon you’ll take flight.

And I’ll be alone,

With my memories each night.

But no matter how far,

Or how big you may be.

You’ll always be little,

When you’re safe here with me.
