My tiny hand fit perfectly in yours
Encased in your love and warmth
Forever protected

And even as my hand grew
So did your love
So that it rests forever within me

Always I have felt your presence
Watching over me
My guardian angel on earth

Every time I stumbled
There you were
Reaching down to help me up

Under your watchful gaze though
I soared more than stumbled
Because of the wings you provide

And every time I soared
There you were
Cheering on the sidelines

Today I long for the words
The words to describe my thanks
For all that you have done

Because without you
I would have fallen
Long ago
`

But with you
I soar

My heart and soul encased
In your love and warmth
Forever protected
