Sweet Baby Starr
Look at you sitting there
With your chubby hand
Holding my heart with your laugh
Knowing where I stand....
Sweet Baby Starr
I know where you are
Starring at you sleeping
Listening to your baby breath
Waiting for your laugh
Hearing the morning sounds
Under the white mounds
Praying a mother’s prayer
While stroking your golden hair....
You are the reason I could fly
My baby Star
You are the reason I feel so alive
My Baby thats what you are...
Look at you growing up
Asleep upon your bed
Holding your teddy bear
Felling such love and care...
With your little arms around my neck
Oh Lord, forgive me I yelled
For some little mistake
That she made
My little Starr....
Kissing my little ones tear stained face
Promising to be better
With each daily light
Holding each other tight....
Chasing the fireflies
In the hot humid night
So tiny she was
But oh so bright....
She sat on the table
Swinging her little legs
Her body as at ease as it could be
Her thought at that time
Was telling the jokes to me....
The little girl sat by her mom’s side
“Mom, when will I grow up?”
Patience dear, it will be soon enough
Star said to me...
Sweet sixteen her first schools dance
Oh where did the years go by?
“Will anyone dance with me?” She asks me why
“Patience, my dear soon enough!”
They said you were wild
I said you were free
They said you wouldn’t listen
I said you would to me.....
Young girl grew into womanhood
And marriage she did go
Love came and love went
Finally one true love endured....
The beautiful bride looked
Towards her mother
“Can I make a marriage work?”
“Patience, my dear, patience, soon enough”
Mom it’s Valentine’s Day
I want you here with me
I feel like a litle girl
That I want to be
Will I ever be able to see you again?
In the heavenly skies....
A cold autumn day, the last leaves
Falling from the trees
Tears falling like rain
It was to be...
“Mom when will I ever see you again?
This is Baby Starr, looking for you”
Soft upon the wind came the reply
“Patience, my Starr, soon enough, soon enough!"....
