YOUR LOVE MAKES ME WHOLE

 

For My Children, Daniel and Anna

 

My love will follow you

Where ever you go

To the highest mountain

The valley so low

 

If you need a hand

To hold on to

Reach for mine

It will be there for you

 

When you are happy

There is a smile upon my heart

Can’t stand the fact

That we are now apart

 

When you hurt

My heart breaks and cries

Can’t stand the pain

I see in your eyes

 

I wait in anticipation

For the phone to ring

Your voice a sweet melody

Like a bird that sings

 

Tell me everything

Is going alright

Your stomach not hungry

When you go to sleep at night

 

If you need me

I will be right there

For whatever the reason

To love and care

 

You are my child

My body and soul

I love you more than life

Your love makes me whole

 

You are so beautiful

God has truly blessed me

Never forget this

I love you, sweetie.
