Happy Once More

Come now little one, no fears,

know you are loved and take my hand.

Hold me now and dry your tears,

you will dream and be happy once more.

It's a place for your heart to land,

a place to trust as it did before.

Some song I've always known,

I know it is love and it takes you away

I hear it often and I am not alone,

embracing me in its warmth like the sun.

Just another time and another day,

always this life has just begun.

You heart feels more than ever,

as your mind races with many feelings.

It will not remain this way forever,

if I said nothing - my heart would break.

Life cannot contain these dealings,

all the emotions it would take.

So I look for life in your smile,

as you open your eyes to one more day,

So hour by hour and mile by mile,

take each step with me now my little one.

Happiness is only a moment away,

always this life has just begun.

Always With You

Rest now little child, off to sleep,

sleep and dream for I am with you still.

Rest your weary heart, do not weep,

tomorrow is a new day and ready for living.

Be mild of heart and be strong of will,

and be ready for love and giving.

Be ready to laugh, ready to smile,

for this is what you are, a brighter light.

The sadness is only for a little while,

and then happiness you will remember only.

I am always by your side, day or night,

forever too, if ever you are lonely.

You'll ever be that same little girl,

the one that ever brings a smile to faces.

And to my heart, my joy, my world,

you are my friend and still holding my hand.

However the days or how many places,

I'm with you wherever you stand.

Dry now your eyes and your face,

reach for the stars, but steady your feet.

Wherever your heart is, is our space,

with no goodbyes, for I shall see you again.

My beautiful child, my life is complete,

in you, no matter where or when.
