The River is Calm Child*

I held a child, cradled him in my arms
Protected him from the elements, against all harm
Tears of joy for the gift that was given
A silent stream, for the fear inside me hidden
I watched him crawl, then walk, then run
Observed his pleasure and his creative fun

CHORUS:

a)We had trials, the best of me lacking and side- tracked
b)He was on the side lines, waiting on the facts

c)So in need but against the natural bond
d)As I tried to assure him as the river calmed

The love in my soul expelled, I could not hold it down
The more I tried to love, the more he frowned
He walked alone, endurance, a man becoming
As I felt the pain of a mothers shunning
I said a prayer one day, my hearts desire overflowing
It is not what I have now but my FAITH and KNOWING

Chorus:(a,b,c,d)

Now the blessings are so clear!

Rainin' tears for you dear..[(Child of God) whispered]

I have dreamed,I haved my prayers and thoughts

But Y O U~ It was your mighty fierce fight [(FOUGHT) shouted]

Chorus:a,

b2)He's on the side lines- getting the facts

e)In need, but one day you're going to bond

f)and you'll feel the rushing river, rapid where once calmed

~May all your dreams be reality -  just trust...

                           [(In God....)softly spoken]
