A Song for Amelie

Your little hands
Around my finger
I wish you’d hold it
Just a little longer

Your eyes closed
Lying in your crib
I wish I could watch you
Just a little longer

Soon you’ll be ….

Chasing dreams, chasing stars
Learning to rise after you fall
My heart won’t seem so far away
I’ll be there when you call
Learn to laugh learn to cry
I’ll be here right by your side
To sing you a little lullaby
To hold you through this life

I’ll watch you grow
Till time will take me home
But I pray that
You will smile much longer

Soon you’ll know
Of a love worth more than gold
I hope you’ll find it
Before time grows old

But soon you’ll be

This song is dedicated to all the lil’ ones that I know especially one that was born on November 6, 2002. Her name is Amelie, born to the proud parents of Anh and Patrice Simard. I hope that this song in some way captures the feelings of Anh and Patrice for their special little girl as well as those who will become or are parents that they will hold their children in a special place in their hearts.
