Struggling to get you here,
Kissing on your little face.
Counting all your toes and fingers,
Melting at our first embrace.
Choking on the word goodbye,
Holding on to you so tight.
Nearly drowning in my tears,
Wondering if you'd be all right.
While I couldn't have you with me,
There was never doubt...I knew
Even though my heart was aching,
God had His eye on you.
My home was never your home,
And time kept us apart.
True, we hardly know each other,
But I've loved you from the start.
