Hymn For Henry
I could hear two hearts
Cry outward in delight
See our love, our child
This amazing sight
His eyes so full of curiosity
So ready for his odyssey
From five small fingers
Wrapped around one
I came face to face with love
From this child, this son,
Through yawns, and smiles
Wide eyes and dreams for miles.
The majesty of life can set sail
Like dandelions in a breeze
And what once was so real
Can take flight above the trees
And with tear in eye
We must say goodbye
But as heavy as my heart
Must now be
I've had the privilege
To know little Henry
And in this world full of sorrows
He will forever light all my tomorrows.
