We remember that moment
The dials turn so slowly
That capture forever our time
In your arms
In my arms
Tears that suggest
Truly a miracle has occurred
~
I remember the eyes
Looking at me in a wonder
Asking to be held
Yet, not knowing why
Just pleading innocence
A natural Grace of need
~
Really, there is nothing like the beauty
Of cradling love in its purest essence
~
We recall the first bruising
A simple fall on the pavement
Reared up howls at eye contact
We reach out
To cradle new found fears
In your arms
In my arms
Tears that suggest
We are here, there, and nearby
~
We know that hearts may swell
When memory gathers momentum
A glance of a familiar icon
Brings a waterfall
Such notions shed light on the beauty
That God has provided our humanity
We know now what then we dreamed
~
In a flash our responsibility
Becomes a secondary reality
Their world reflects upon
Everlasting hope
Simple faith that draws energy
~
Hold your children tender so close
Allow their naivete freedom to choose
