Child of mine

How will you make your way through this world

Your mother’s breath

Was ripped from the deepest depths

Then you arrived

Pink, blue, golden you are

We’re living for the music of your smile

So full of light

You are our darling child

Never lose that

Your whole life long

You must be courageous

In the face of sorrow

Standing in the light of our love

May it hold you always

I dread the day when you first realise

The cruelty of the truth

That life ain’t fair

Seek out beauty and magic everywhere

You must be courageous

In the face of sorrow

Standing in the light of our love

May it hold you always
