My sweet child…
I love you
And I know you know that I do
I can see it in your sparkly eyes.
I remember you reaching for my arms when you took your first step..
I knew you trusted me.
You ran right back to my arms when you had that first fall.
That first feeling of pain,
in me you sought assurance.
And now I lay beside you telling you silly sweet nothings that soothe you
to slumber…
my sweet child, my baby I love you.
