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
