What it's like, to me, to hold a young child.
As, in your arms, you embrace the light,
All fades off into the night,
Rain was falling, rythmic drops,
But, world silenced, the rythym stops.

Feel, don't see, darkness surrounds,
Feel the emotion and hear the sounds,
'All that is' is all you know,
Feel your heartbeat begin to slow.

As calm overcomes your previous fear,
A gentle voice is all you hear,
The words 'I love you', all that's said,
In your heart the words embed.

Realize this is all there is,
All the love you feel is his,
His little hand around your finger,
You hope this feeling will always linger;

Now you remember what life is about,
So you can stop trying to figure it out,
You are reminded of truth, love, and purity,
When his little face is all you see.

Now you see the joy life brings,
When the little voice in your heart sings,
So let the moment fade away,
Because the love will always stay.
