Baby of Mine
Baby of mine so precious and new
My life changed forever for the better in you
So sacred and innocent your soul shines through
Life, given to me in God's own view
My rigorous strain to ensure your birth
I look in your eyes and know my worth
Immediate love for a stranger is here
Like lightning our hearts merge without fear
Your fingers curled tightly around mine
And I know in a moment it will all be just fine
Your scent I take in with a breath like my last
Inhaling generations of love now past
In my heart your essence I'll always keep
As I watch you slowly drift off to sleep.
