Arianna

Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.

As I hold her face against my chest 
I shed a tear not in distress but of happiness that cannot rest.

Pride and light beam from above
that little thing you call love.


There you are grown at best
I stand to say you are the nothing like the rest.

Again you beam with creativity
a kind that just can’ t be believed.

Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.

You are my light and fruit of strength
with a grace of smile that can’t be erased.

Every step I take is for thee
your protection from me will always be.

Brown eyes so big full of life
your soul so pleasant I shy at the might. 

Child of mine believes in me.
Child of mine never leaves.
