I hold your little hand as you tell me of your day
so sweet, so innocent , so easy is your way

It makes me realize just how precious you are
Like a sweat dream , like a shooting star

So I hold you tightly, and kiss your sweet head
and sing you a lullaby as I carry you to bed.

Sweet dreams my little one with the ever growing spark
the inquiring innocence that tugs at my heart....

I try to look within myself
afraid of what I'll find

Sometimes so much anger
I feel I am a danger

Sometimes so much love
I fear I will drown

Often so much numbness
Do I actually exist

Often so dreamy
like a child with a wish

I see my reflection
so blank, so bare

A face in the mirror
with so many masks to wear

The child in me still believes
in magic and fairytales

I daydream of a time
where love can concor all
and someone will catch us when we fall

I dream at night
of angels in flight
and the darkness is lighted
with a rainbow of sight

Oh, if life could only be
As wonderous as a child can see

I see you in the distance
a face among the crowd

An aura all around you
like the sun shining down

I want to get to know you
so strange this is for me

I tend to shy away and hide
from encounters that could be

Yet, I find myself walking toward you
fearless and aware

That hearbreak could be knocking at my door
and for the first time I don't seem to care

Then you look to me and smile
and I feel myself beam bright

Stranger than fiction
a sweet encounter
of  love at first sight
