My Dream My Dreamer

The greatest gift I've ever known 
A special angel  I kept till grown 
Sent straight to me from God above 
A precious soul for me to love 

He gave to her a heart of gold 
And smile to warm me in the cold 
The strength to stand up tall and proud 
The will to take on any crowd 

A love for life beyond compare 
Desire to treat all people fair 
Courage to look fear in the eye 
Reach for the stars and touch the sky 

But now my little girl is grown 
She'll face the world on her own 
This angel God has lent to me 
Must fly to with another be 

May all your precious gifts of God 
Stay with you as through life you trod 
And every time you touch the ground 
Your love for life can still be found 

To touch someone to help them see 
The love and kindness you give so free 
And may you be forever part 
Of the memories in their heart 

So my special angel dear 
Spread your wings and have no fear 
And to the world be solid gold 
Then look back when you are old 

To see the multitude of grace 
In the hearts and on the face 
Of every soul your life has touched 
We all should pray for just as much 

The dream of every heart that's mild 
To change the world so cruel & wild 
But you're one of the chosen few 
Who has the gift to carry through
