My Blue Eyed Wonder

My Little Blue Eyed Wonder

(A Mother's Lament)

I should have spent more time 

With my little blue eyed wonder.

Does she know how much I love her, 

Or does she think I shunned her?

My little blue eyed wonder, 

My heaven here on Earth,

I've loved her more than life itself 

Since before her day of birth.

I wish I could just hold her hand 

And take her into time,

To show her just how much 

Her life is intertwined in mine.

I don't have the words I need 

To tell her all she needs to know,

But some things just can't be told, 

She'll have to live to grow.

If I had a perfect world 

And just one life to give,

I would give it to my blue eyed girl, 

And there in peace she'd live.

But my world is not perfect, 

Though my heart is filled with love

For my little blue eyed wonder 

Sent to me from up above.

You brighten even sad days, 

My little blue eyed child...

For often when I think of you, 

I realize I've just smiled.

I love that Girl!
