Baby For All Time
I heard the softness of your step
And was forced to turn around,
Then fell in a daze at the sight of you,
Unable to make any sound.
I could see every intricate detail
Of your quiet, precious face,
And time seemed almost to slow as you walked...
You floated along with such grace.
The soft wind from the window
Seemed to flow in as on cue,
Drifting past your hair slowly...
And I stared... Nothing else would do.
A shadow lined your precious face
With your baby blue-gray eyes...
Those eyes that twinkled slightly
With each soft and saddened sigh.
You were closer now, just out of reach
And it took all my strength not to grab you...
If you had been in my arms that moment,
Who knows what else I would do.
But then you touched my hand softly
And I held it tight in mine.
I knew then you were mine forever,
My baby for all time.
