A Mother's Love

I dance within my heart
and sing of loves refrain
Capturing every moment treasuring
each minute of the day

Life is a gift a blessing
a joy to behold at birth
A mother smiles down on her new born
this little miracle is hers

A tiny bundle of perfection
given into her trust
To love and cherish from the good
Lord up above

Her heart melts with tenderness
such love she has never known
I will guard you and keep you until you
walk this road yourself

My love for you will be unbroken
you are my darling child
May the Angels of Heaven hold you
and guide your path through life

Your Daddy stands besides me
smiling upon you with pride
You have brought us such happiness
you are such a blessing
The light of our lives

Written for my granddaughter Shennah Anne to hold and keep
on the birth of her baby daughter Amelia Lillie
