The moment I first saw you
My heart it burst inside
Life then changed forever
Infinite loving pride
Held you in my strong arms
Protection started then
Gave you all the strength I had
From the moment you said when
Watched you take your first steps
The path into your world
Held your hand when you fell
Smiled when your laugh uncurled
My eyes they grew some lifelines
The smile shall never fade
The love I have is sunshine
The pride I have is shade
You blossomed to a young person
Walked in sunshine and rain
Made your mistakes yet learned
That with happiness comes pain
You flew the nest so quickly
Memories hang from the wall
Time it moves so slowly
When I await the call
Life it gets so busy
We say I will see you soon
Time is quickly passing
The sun becomes the moon
Reflections of my parents
And the things I could have done
The words I never said to them
With you it’s just begun
Each time we are together
We fall into routine
My heart it never felt so proud
Love that’s so serene
For time is what life is made of
It can be snatched before our eyes
Regrets that are a burden
That weigh us down with sighs
Are we too proud to say it?
Just what we truly feel
Love is three immortal words
Life is too surreal
If the time comes that I lose you
Remember these words before I leave
Life is yours to change my child
Your heart is on your sleeve
