From the moment I first held you

As you came into this world

My heart was yours forever

And an endless love unfurled

The miracle, the wonder

That the love of two creates

A love so deep and pure and true

Is impossible to break

So much yet to discover

Your life about to start

Memories of all your ‘firsts’

Are locked safely in my heart

The joy I feel consumes me

Mere words cannot suffice

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you

Nothing I wouldn’t sacrifice

The years, they pass too quickly

For us, my precious child

Our bond grows ever deeper

Until I’m utterly beguiled

And even now you’re almost grown

I’ll protect you from all harm

For to me, you’ll always be the babe

I cradled in my arms

From now until the day I’m gone

Our hearts remain entwined

And even then I’ll love you still

Oh, precious child of mine.
