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
