With God's Blessings

God has truly blessed me
With a gift so pure
A new generation
Built on love

I pray you are strong
That you dream
You love
You care

You are God's gift
For me to love
For me to raise
For as long as we live

You are my Angel
The apple of my eye
A part of my soul
My little boy

Not too much longer
Before we meet
To see you perfect
My heart will soar

You will be taught 
You will learn
You will believe
You can fly

I will be by your side
When you laugh and cry
I will watch and protect
Always believing in you

From the moment
I knew you existed
My life changed 
For the better

I dream of you
Of your bright eyes
Your beautiful face
And I wait

The sound of your heartbeat
Makes mine skip
The bumps in the night
Remind me you're there.
