Oh My Perfect Child
Oh my perfect child, why must you grow so tall?
It wasn't even that long ago, when you were very small.
Oh my perfect child, how do you learn so fast?
Those days of asking all those questions, are now lost within your past.
Oh my perfect child, what makes you be so kind?
There aren't others like you that anyone could find.
Oh my perfect child, you have so much to give.
To help and care for others are the ways that you must live.
Oh my perfect child, you made all your dreams come true.
And that is why my heart is filled, with so much love for you.
Oh my perfect child, keep good memories and don't forget,
the places that you've been or the people you have met.
