BY CAROLE NICHOLS
I sit here and hold you close
As you sigh in your sleep so sweetly.
You still hold my finger tight;
I know you depend on me completely.
I send a prayer to heaven
To always keep you safe from harm;
To let you grow up happily
Surrounded by my love, so warm.
I pray for wisdom to help me
Teach you right from wrong;
To help you find your place in life;
To help you grow up sure and strong.
But most of all I pray that
When the time comes for you to walk away,
That I will smile and let you go;
Not try and make you stay.
You were loaned to me by God
Until the time when you are grown;
A precious gift to protect and raise
Til you are ready to make a life of your own.
