May I whisper in your ear sweet hope
hold you tight so that you cannot run
give you my strength and my blessing
Little one, you are special
you have won my heart without a word
you have given me joy by being you
See the twinkle in my eye
the grin that is just for you
my surprise at the simple things
Before you breathed air there was a plan
and I prayed that you would find it
search it out, embrace it
It was not easy to let you go
to find your step without my hands
to see you brave the giant
But little one, know that I was there
with my heart and my song
confident that you would find your own
Be strong for strength has been given to you
be brave because you have been well equipped
be soft because I love softness
And may the Lord of love show you
what is pure, and holy, and yours
and may you never forget how to laugh
