There

There

When you took your very first breath of air,
I was right beside mommy, you know I was there.
When you started moving and going everywhere,
I was always behind you, you know I was there.
When you started talking, I must declare,
It was so precious, you know I was there.
And in all the times when you would scare,
I'd guide and protect you, you know I was there.
Whenever you feel that your life is unfair,
You can come see me, you know I'll be there.
If you ever have problems, rest assured that I care
Just give me a call and you know I'll be there.
The world is so crazy, you've got to beware,
Be wise in your choices, stay always aware.
If ever you find yourself in despair,
And I am no longer physically there.
Remember me in your heart, and say a prayer,
And worry not, for this I swear,
I will always and forever be there.
