Baby Boy

Open my eyes Lord let me keep living
For I know that you kept me here for a reason
A chosen one, something my father once said
Honorable while my mother is in this bed
Keep me in your hands Lord 
Put your breath in me
Fill me with your life Lord 
Safe as I can be
Growing and Growing Lord
So my mother and father can see
That you have answered there plea
Let me keep living Lord 
In your walk I will be
Let me keep living Lord 
To show the world
What I will come to be...


                                                                  

Dedicated to Josh and Nilsa
