Of You

By Moratha



Little one, so full of life, all of my
Hopes are in you.
As you grow, maturity shows, sending away
The child within.
Should you hang with a boy, or play with
A toy? You decide.

Your dependence on me grows smaller every day.
I guess you just need me in a different way.
So close to perfection, can you hold on thru change?
I’ll be there every step of the way, push me away.

Little one, with a special inner light.
Let it glow.
This change is coming soon, will you
Find your way?
This advice I give, will help you live
With the new you.

Your dependence on me grows smaller every day.
I guess you just need me in a different way.
So close to perfection, can you hold on thru change?
I’ll be there every step of the way, push me away.



My beautiful child, so much to give, the world will be yours.

(a song for my daughter, Abrianna)
