A New Mom's Promise
As we sit alone together inside our hospital room
It was only but one day ago I held you in my womb.
And today although you’re still too young to fully understand
In what truly is a miracle…I’m holding you in my hands.
How fast we must adjust…adapt…how swiftly we rearrange
This is your first life lesson…how quickly life can change.
There will come a day you no longer fit inside my hands…but do not be too alarmed
because there will never come a time…you don’t fit inside my arms.
You see there’s something magical about a mother’s love…that all your life holds true
It doesn’t matter how big you grow…my love will grow with you.
So as I stare into your eyes today….I find it easy to admit
from my womb, to my hands, to my arms…you are a perfect fit
And I promise I will love you…and be captivated by your charms
as long as I am living…as long as you fit inside my arms.
