Child In My Eyes

I was there when you drew the breath of life And I could hear your voice The first time that you cried And though you couldn't see me I was very near And there's something now That I want you to hear You will always be a child in my eyes And when you need some love My arms are open wide And even when you're growing old I hope you realize You will always be a child in my eyes And I was there the first time that you prayed And I heard all the promises you made And when you fell before me Crying father I have sinned I picked you up And held you close again And you will always be a child in my eyes And when you need some love My arms are open wide And even when you're growing old I hope you realize You will always be a child in my eyes You will always be a child in my eyes And when you need some love My arms are open wide And even when you're growing old I hope you realize You will always be a child in my eyes You will always be a child in my eyes

This loving poem would also make a beautiful song. It is so meaningful and reading it made me think of my daughter, Caroline.

your poem was captivating, Rose; reading it left me understanding a mother's unconditional love for her child. I can understand the feeling of 'always be a child in your eyes.' Such poignant words and a delightful read. Have a blessed evening, hugs, Sara
