Mother, Daughter
Very few the treasures
In my life I held so dear.
So very few the moments
When the sacred was so near.
It was sacred when I held you
For that first, intense embrace.
I was awestruck when I saw the way
The Savior graced your face.
Your eyes…your hair,
Your skin, your toes.
The perfection of your form
And the cuteness of your nose.
Darling, as the years roll by,
Our lives will start to change.
Letting go is hard at times,
But I am with you through the pains.
I’m part of you, you’re part of me
And together we are bound
To lift each other up
Until in heaven we’ll resound:
A song of thanks and worship
That God gave us to each other.
My girl with needs uniquely met
By only one…her mother.
One day you may also be
A mother so beguiled.
And you will know these words are true,
Of how a mother sees her child.
