Gazing into waters deep
Praying for their souls to keep
Safely for another day
I ask this of you God if I may

For in the ripples I do see
My very special family
The daughter whom I love so dear
Whose gentle laughter I do hear

The ray of sunshine in my days
Comes from her in so many ways
From the time that she was born
She’s been like the golden dawn

Spreading her light in all directions
To me her beauty is perfection
When she hurts, I hurt too
The connection is so pure and true

And then of course there is the son
That amazing young man, the gentle one
He makes a mother feel so proud
To shout if from the rooftops loud

This is my son, this wonderful man
Who does everything he possibly can
To bring to my life a glow of love
For this I thank the Lord above

My children I hope they understand
They hold my heart in the palms of their hands
This mother’s love is so strong and pure
No matter what happens it will endure

So as I gaze into the water deep
Praying for their souls to keep
Safely for another day
I ask this of you God if I may.
