Little child. don’t you cry now.
You don’t have to be afraid.
We are her to protect our.
Precious miracle that we made.
Perfect hands, perfect feet.
You have made our life’s complete.
There’s so much that I hope for.
For my sweet little child.

What true love was before.
But now I got you.
The love means just so much more.
Little child, I’ll be watching.
As you lean and you grow.
And whatever you may go through.
You don’t have to go it alone.
But for now, just you rest.
In my arms and on my chest.
