Tiny Whispers
3:00am, the world's fast asleep
But I hear the sound of tiny feet
They're racing through the house and rushing my way
It matters not that I've had the longest day
With a leap and a pounce she makes her presence known
Then snuggles up close for me to hold
The storm outside has brought her out of her innocent slumber
The flashes of lightening and clashes of thunder
To be in my arms is her security and peace
How could she possibly know that she's actually my relief?
For no matter the grief that the world throws my way
This sweet little thing is my saving Grace
I rock her through the storm knowing she'll quickly fall back to sleep
Because in any moment of darkness family is all we truly need
As her eyes grow heavy and her worries grow light
Just holding her in my arms shows me all I've done right
For there is no greater joy or delight in this world
Than hearing "I Love You Mommy" being whispered by your precious little girl
