Soft bundle of love,
Hopes and dreams.
I thrill with excitement,
Jubilation, trepidation.
So much I want to give
For you to thrive
And glory in life.
My hopes, your dreams;
We must balance.
You are my baby, my child;
But to be true
To your glory
I must help you be
You,
Your very own
Self.
My job
Is to love you,
Nurture you,
Support you.
Then release you
To soar into your future.
My joy
Is to see you fly
Strong
And with the wind.
Our journey together
Will twist and turn.
We’ll ford rivers of tears
And cascades of joy.
Together
We will navigate
This rocky road of life;
Threatening cliffs and perilous potholes
Tempered
By our unconditional,
Everlasting
Love.
