Every Day I Look At You

When I look at you I see

All that I once thought I could be.

When I look at your beautiful face

I see the hundreds of lives you will grace.

When I look at you today

Good works, great deeds, and love for you I pray.

When I see the littleness of you

I have hope for all that you will do.

When I look at you I see

Your distant future without me.

***

And it’s okay to know

As long as I get to see you grow.

Be strong, be happy, be beautiful

In who you are what you do.

❤
