My Picture

I have a picture of you on my wall

My beautiful Daughter, I love you above all

The one perfect thing I’ve ever done in my life

Was to bring you into the world to be a new light

And to see you smiling fills my heart with joy

There’s a pride swelling within me, nothing can destroy

All I ever want more than any other prize

Is to see your love ignite and shine in your eyes

I know you’ll make mistakes and take a few wrong turns

Get lost a time or two, but that’s how you learn

And I’ll still be here, any time you’re in need

The call of my life is to help you succeed

Every time you fall, my heart is filled with tears

But I’ll help you get strong again, there’s no need to fear

All I ever need more than anything by far

Is for you to believe and know just how loved you are

Makes me want to cry, when I see my love in you

Reflected in all the things that you do

And if I love my child, though I’m weak and small

How much more is God’s love for me

My picture’s hanging on His wall
