Sight unseen, skin untouched, but real
The thought of you dried my tears
Plagued by worry that I would not feel
The joy of being a Mother

I held you in arms finally fulfilled
Unwilling to lay you down to sleep
The salty tears of love oft spilled
Upon your newborn cheeks

Trouble will never crease your brow
If my will be done
I’ll try to solve your woes somehow
You are my only son

So if you find yourself alone
And your happy days are few
And from this world I’ve flown
Know that my heart is still alive with love
And with this….. I will hold you

I Will Hold You

The salty tears of love oft spilled

So if you find yourself alone
And your happy days are few
And from this world I’ve flown
Know that my heart is still alive with love
And with this….. I will hold you
