When you
were a new life within me
So tiny
that God could only see
My heart
knew that you were there.
My soul
flew as high as it could dare.
And I
would think of what you'd grow to be,
But,
healthy was all that mattered to me.
You are
my baby, my child, my son,
You are
my life until it's done.
And then
came your birthing day,
You came
perfect in every way.
My heart
was bursting with joy,
That God
would trust me with this baby boy.
I will
teach , protect and guide him,
I will
nurture and love him.
It seems
that it was only yesterday,
That we
celebrated your tenth birthday.
The years
go by so fast,
And
suddenly the present is the past.
The child
has grown into a man,
No longer
do I need to hold his hand.
The
man you've grown to be,
Gives
only the greatest pride to me.
And when
I lay my head to final rest,
I'll know
I've done my very best
Because
you are a child of my heart,
And from
that you can never part.
You are
my baby, my child, my son,
You are
my life until it's done.
