CHILD OF MY CHILD

Child Of My CHILD

I was there on the day that you came to this earth.
How I loved you, the child of my child!
Held you close to my heart on the day of your birth
And I wish you could see how I smiled.

Child of my child, oh my darling sweet boy
One of God's greatest gifts in our sight,
How could we know you would bring so much joy?
Knowing you has been such a delight!

You've lit so many lives in your first few short years,
Have touched so many family and friends.
We have watched as you grew through the sunshine and tears
And the love that we feel never ends.

Child of my child, oh my darling sweet boy
One of God's greatest gifts in our sight,
How could we know you would bring so much joy?
Knowing you has been such a delight!

With your mother to guide you, you've traveled afar.
We were sad that you must go away.
But with thoughts sent on moonbeams and wishes on stars
In our hearts evermore you will stay.

Child of my child, oh my darling sweet boy
One of God's greatest gifts in our sight,
How could we know you would bring so much joy?
Knowing you has been such a delight!
