Sweet Little Child

Sweet little child!
I love you so!
I am glad you are mine!
I felt life within me
When you were about
Three months along!
There was no doubt
That there was life within me!
I prayed for you daily
That you would be a healthy baby!
There was no doubt or a maybe
I knew life was in me.

I knew life would not be easy,
But I knew life with you would make me happy!
I am so glad that you born that day!
I wanted someone to love and cherish!
I dreamed about you before you were born!
I knew you were to be baby girl
Because I saw your face smiling,
And saying,"This is my mommy
And I love her so!"
With a grin and a smile on your face.
I lived for the day
When you would
Say those words with a grin.
I was so happy when this came to pass
With a grin and a smile on your face,
You said,"This is my mommy! I love her so!"

Now you have grown to be lady!
To me you are my baby!
I know you don't understand!
For you shall be my baby
Forever to me!
I can see that you a beautiful lady!
You are a precious to me!

One day you will have life within you
And you will remember
I sang to you,
"I love you forever
My baby shall be!"
