Life came from love made.
The world strains your eyes,
And a cry you let out.
Life so precious–innocence
and perfection in my hands.

Steps you take out the door,
Grown– come so far.
A kiss on the head and you go,
Ready for the world ahead.

Time passes me, familiar face.
A figure lost in time,
My darling girl lost forever,
in the world i built you.

Forever young I'd hoped you'd stay,
In my arms once again, so small.
Steps out the door, clinging to me,
Scared to let me go.

My angel, so pure–untouched,
Come home to me
and the love made when
Little hands wrapped around my own.
