Wiping the tears from your beautiful eyes
I gaze down at your wonderful face
Impossible to protect you from every hurt
To you the world must seem a cruel place
I don’t know why some people are bad
Or why ice cream falls from the cone
I can’t make the sun shine every day
Or not worry when you are late home
But my child you are a piece of my heart
When you’re hurting, I feel your pain too
Although I get cross when you do silly things
Be assured I will forever love you
My arms will always be there to hug you
And ears open to tell me your woes
I will be your defender as best I can
Even my darling when you’re fully grown.
