Love for a Child
For My Daughter Cassie
On the day you were born
My heart was overjoyed
Love it felt knew no bounds
Without my life devoid
Angels up in heaven
Looked down and smiled on you
Grace and beauty were the gifts
In life to see you through
When I hold you in my arms
Your warmth entwined in mine
My heart cries out to the world
This pure love is divine
Such a sweet little thing
Sleeping in my arms
Promise to protect you
Keep you from all harm
If you don't know how I feel
One day I pray you do
For this love will never die
Always there to see you through |

Separation
Hurry Home My Little One
Every night in sleep I see
You right here, playing with me
In my dreams I often hear
Your laughter ringing in my ear
Gold in your hair, shines so bright
The smile in your eyes, what a sight
On my skin I still can feel
Your hand in mine, O so real
Then I wake from this plight
My silent sobs break the night
For thousands of miles apart we are
Yet always you'll be, my shinning star
I Love You Cassie
