GUARDIAN ANGEL


I remember the first time I heard the baby cry
She was in my arms, it brought a tear to my eye
She had a bad dream, it had woken her up
I gave her a drink from her favourite cup
It made her feel better as we shared an embrace
I swept her long hair from her tear ridden face
It made me so sad when I saw her tears
I was just so happy that I could be here
I got her favourite book, it was "Cat in the Hat"
I have read it so often, I know it front to back
I rock her to sleep in my very gentle arms
Where she will always be safe, there never will be harm
She is what I live for day after day
Until she is sound asleep, here I will stay
She is so precious, I can't wait til she can talk
But until that day comes...
THE CRADLE WILL ROCK
