I Always Knew

(10/30/2011)

I always knew I loved you from the time you were born
I always knew that you were here right beside me.
I always knew your cry, I always knew because you are mine.

I always knew there was a way, but I have not found it.
What am I to say, I always knew you needed time.
I always knew cause you are my child.

I always knew. So, what is there to say?
I always knew that I had you
I always knew what to say. I always knew what to do.
I always knew all these things,
I always knew there is nothing left to say.


 

My New Baby

(8/30/2010)

My new baby is here,
my new baby is near,
my new baby so tiny and small,

(my new baby!)

I love to spoil my new baby.
He waits for me,

(my new baby!)

I love to see my new baby,
so innocent and pure

(my new baby!)

my new baby, so new to me
my new baby, forever free
My new baby is here with me.


 

Because Of You

(4/10/2009)

Because of you I am now set free,
Because of you I am now the old me,
Because of you I am now strong.

Because of you I know love:
my sun now shines,
my moon now smiles,
my stars never end,
my skies are blue.

Because of you there is no rain:
my rivers run clear,
my world now turns.

Because of you I know my way:
my smile is bright,
my heart feels right.
I sing of joy.

Because of you I can think:
I feel no shame,
my love is true,
these words are true,

and soon you will know they’re just
for you.
