Selfless Love

Before I was even born

I was already in your life

You carried me in your heart

You carried me in your eyes

An infant so very small

Could lie in your lovely hand

Not knowing how big the world

Not knowing yet who I am

And I felt warm again

Lullabies and whisperings

So soft in my ear

So sweet was that sound

That reached to my soul

And left me floating in an ocean

Of your selfless love

Of your selfless love

Through all of the trials in my life

You were always within my reach

Amazing the sacrifice in

In every breath you'd breathe

Whenever that child go lost

Or bled through those growing pains

I know it broke your heart

But the feather was in the wind

And I'll always treasure those

Glorious memories of

Sweet summers of freedom

And home for the holidays

And autumn in the air

And the wondrous seasons of

Your selfless love

Your selfless love....

Sometimes we never know

Just what we have at hand

Only time can show

What we could never understand
