Held with gentle feeling
Love that is caressed
Hearts so gently beating
By this love possessed

Gentle care in giving
Love that is so pure
Reaching for the treasure
Child's gentleness assured

Peaceful love does whisper
Within a single breath
Feelings of devotion
Hands that are so blessed

Holding with such beauty
Reaching with such pride
Hearts are joined together
With love this joy arrived

Promise of tomorrow
Gathered on her knee
Light of all her beauty
Forever she will see

Holding on forever
With greatest love of all
Two souls one heart emerging
The gift of life's windfall
