I Am FreeThe chains that bound are brokenNo more the prison bars That reached to smother and engulf me With every passing day, No more the sorrow or frustration I have found a way. I am free And with my freedom comes The dawning of a new day With love, not bitterness, with hope The strength to cope I am free No more the tears for things That should have been The barren years, the stunted growth I see the world through different eyes And say Welcome World I am free |
Lullaby Little OneLittle One who lies beneath my breast,I think of you with all the love, As mother for her child. Waiting in such sweet expectation, Your body to caress, I sit and dream of you, With gentle smile. Little one we must be calm Although excitement quickens my heart beat Waiting has become such joy and yet Mother nature says Its time we meet. Little one - you're here and as part of me, I thrill with such emotion, That I dare not speak I raise my eyes to God in thanks for this great miracle, And welcome you with love and joy! So sweet. |
