I Have A Child

I have a child
I have a child, which I must nurture
And keep safe and warm within my bosom

I have a child
Which I will love no matter what
And see it grow with no expectations
No ideas or dreams of what it will become
Everything it does will be perfect
Wherever it chooses to go will be the only road to follow

I have a child
I have a child who is the most beautiful and precious thing in the
world
So beautiful that nothing could entice me to avert my eyes
A child so innocent and sweet that I wish to protect from all
corruption and impurity

I have a child
I have a child whose fragile life I cherish more than my own
Whose very existence has formed my whole life's purpose.
A child who now I have, I can't even vaguely imagine what life was like
before

How did I live without you?
How did I breathe without you?
What did I think of before my thoughts were always of you?
What was in my heart before you came and filled it?

I have a child
I have a special child
A child called Love
For although I have not borne a child
The love I hold in my heart, is my precious angel child
Which I will keep safe and warm within my bosom
And nurture
And see it grow wherever,
However
I have a child
