I watch you from a far
My baby, My child
I’ve watched all your life
With joy in my eyes
And pride in my heart
I was closer before
But now I can see more
I see your struggles
Watch you bear disappointments
Your heartaches
I feel every tear
That rolls from your hopeful eyes
I witness your strength
It comforts my lingering soul
Though I am no longer
You cannot feel my embrace
I strive to surround you with warmth
My heart is your happiness
I am with you as you travel
Guiding you with signs
Willing you forward
Wishing your success
From my quiet observation
Through these eyes now opened
Newly aware of your beauty
You shine brighter and clearer
Than any stars I may sit among
The moment that you find it
Your special place in the world
I will know my life
Was worth your journey
Until that day
I watch you from a far
My baby, My child
