Beautiful Child

On that first

Day, I learnt

How precious life can be

Hands so small

Break my fall

When I hold you close to me

Just can’t buy

Those laughing eyes

Staring in wonder at the world

Safe in my arms, I’ll keep you from harm

Beautiful child

On that second

Day, I reckon

Knew you were that special one

I adore

Would die for

Walk with you till you learn to run

Your best friend

Till the end

I will always be there

Safe in my arms, I’ll keep you from harm

Beautiful child

Know I can’t wave a wand, make time standstill

And this bundle of joy, soon enough will

Be kissed by another, for such is the way

But beautiful child, for now in this lullaby please stay

On the third

Day, I heard

A voice inside of me

Say you’re blessed

So, be the best

Guardian of their dreams

For you can’t buy

Those laughing eyes

Staring in wonder at the world

Safe in my arms, I’ll keep you from harm

Beautiful child

Safe in my harms, You’ll come to no arm

My beautiful child
