I hold you in my arms
And gaze in wonder
We've only just met and yet
I love you with all my heart

I cannot help but be envious
You have no need to worry
We will protect you from the world
Until you can speak for yourself

I pray that you never have to suffer
As I have for all these years
I pray that you always know
That you are never alone

I promise that you will grow up strong
Proud of everything you are
I promise that I will never let you
Believe you are not enough

I have to thank you, little one
You brought some light into my life
I felt it touch my soul
And now I have hope for tomorrow
