You never asked to be here you never asked to be afraid of the darkness I sit and watch you sleep and I remember all the fears I have for you I wish life would be what it says it is I wish God would have whispered all those things... a little louder. Now that I've brought you into life what do I do next A father's pride doesn't pave the way a father's ear dont always hear what you mean to say How can I measure up to what's laid in front of me I brought you here tell me what is this fear for your heart I wish I could give all the memories I wish I could show you the road I'm prayin' that the Lord saw through my foolish pride And i'm hopin that I can be a hint to the love that my Father loves me with I pray every day that you'll make the right choice when it comes to you I hope you dont think that daddy's just a fool with a peasants dreams I hope you see through my fear of what life makes you believe I wish I could imprint on your heart all the mistakes I've made so far I wish I could protect you when the wind grows cold but that's not how the story of life gets told If only I could protect you If only I could hold you every moment of every day Always be there to wipe your tears away If only I could take it all back All the things save for the fact that you were born out of love Nothing was above my baby my baby I love you. To Hannah Jane, my child and my heart. I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |

I bet she misses you when you are gone. I love the love for her that you have shared with us. It's beautiful in itself. Alison |
