madeline morris - Precious

You are so bright and full of life,
You ended my needless material strife,
Emulate light to all that you know,
I am so priveleged to watch you grow.
It is up to me to see you through,
And teach you in all that you do.
I will show you which way is best to go,
You are more perfect than you'll ever know.
To me you are the brightest light,
As I sit and watch you sleep at night,
I thank the gods that you are mine,
That you are fair and you are fine.
You are sacred you are good,
You are an effeervescent glowing flood,
Of love and life and happiness,
You don't have to try hard to impress.
Your heart is good, your soul is pure,
For you there is nothing I wouldn't endure.
I will protect you with all my strength,
Love like this has no length,
Or weight or measurement,
Just be happy and content.
Then I'll know I am doing my job correct,
You will never be lonely, I will not neglect.
You will never ever ever perish,
It is you I have and who I cherish.
