Oh, child, so small, so fragile now,

Come sit and let me sing

Of silly songs and lullabies,

Of dragons and of kings.



This rockin’ chair’s made just for us.

I know ~ there’s work to do.

But, can’t that dust and dishes wait

While I play peek a boo?



For, time is speeding on its way

And soon this phase will pass,

No more time for baby things ~

Growing up so fast!



I’ll love the ball games, scouts and camps;

There’s lots of things we’ll do.

But, just a moment, here, today ~

I want to sing to you.



I’ll plant a song down in your heart

And let it grow with you.

You’ll remember God’s great love

Because I sang it true.



'Jesus loves me, this I know ...'

Will be there when you’re old

And I am gone, and cannot sing

The song so brave and bold.



When you’re grown and packin’ up,

To claim what life can give,

I’ll look at you, through Mother’s eyes,

And see the babe within!
