My Child

Oh beautiful one, adorned with spell
         My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
         The tears from my eyes and deep inside
         His laughter, his smile, his quick cheecky wit.

Allure of caressing breeze in touch gentle
         I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
         Wondering when I will be right
         In your life you will meet someone special sometime.

Oh beautiful creature sail me do,
         Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and if God choose
         Losing all hope in my mind
         I shall but love thee better after death.
