Carry On

Hopes for our children

A Baby's breath, a baby's giggle,

A tiny outstretched hand, 

A little sigh, close your eyes, 

I am your biggest fan. 

Somewhere in the midnight air, 

I hear a baby coo

And wonder how 

my heart can hold 

All this love for you. 

And as you grow I watch in awe, 

At all the things you do

And pray upon God's true love, 

That He will still hold you. 

For in the days that follow, 

there will be times you need his hand

Lord please guide my baby, 

Be her footprints in the sand. 

And in those times when darkness blinds, 

Please give her eyes to see, 

The path she needs to follow, 

The one that sets her free. 

My wish for you, my baby girl

Is that you grow up proud and strong, 

And leave behind a legacy, 

Of Love to carry on.

Wow! A true heart of a mother. I salute you for this beautiful poem of prayer for your baby. :)

[Denham Cole]

Warm, sincere, and heartfelt. And another well written poem. A great example of where rhyming couplets can still serve strongly in modern writing.

Your prayer is one that many of us parents will applaud. Even when they're grown, we still ask God to watch over them.

Yes, that is true. Mine is only half grown and I find myself praying every other minute.. Lol
