Born of My Heart

 

Dear child, born of my heart ❤️,

Where would I be,

Without you as a part

Of this, our family?

Dear child, so born of my heart

Where would I be,

Without you as the start

of this wonderful painting of family art?

Feeling blessed that my son and his beautiful wife have 3 wonderful children- The first having been adopted.  She was pregnant (after losing a pregnancy and trying for so long) and starting to "show" when the adoption went through. Then they had a third. 

 He and his mother were talking one day and he said that he was born of his mother's heart.  Beautiful, right? 

[Verse 1] Dear child, born of my heart You stitched my days together Tiny hands, big sky You changed the weather I was half a home Till you walked in [Pre-Chorus] Where would I be Without you near me? Where would I be Without your name in my story? [Chorus] Dear child, born of my heart Where would I be? Without you as a part Of this family Dear child, born of my heart You are my start The first bright stroke In our family art [Verse 2] Your shoes by the door Your laugh on the floor Little crumbs of life That I cherish more Every sleepy kiss Every Sunday song You made this place Where I belong [Pre-Chorus] Where would I be Without you near me? Where would I be Without your name in my story? [Chorus] Dear child, born of my heart Where would I be? Without you as a part Of this family Dear child, born of my heart You are my start The first bright stroke In our family art [Bridge] If the road turns hard And the rain comes down I will be the hand That holds you now You are the light In my oldest dream You made a home Out of everything [Final Chorus] Dear child, born of my heart Where would I be? Without you as a part Of this family Dear child, born of my heart
