Tonight after sweet pea had taken her bath, I held her all wrapped up in my arms and rocked her back and forth. I sang to her as she drifted off to sleep. One of the songs I sang to her was "I am a child of God", and as I sang to her eyes slowly shut and her body relaxed, and I remembered holding her in my arms just after she was born and singing the same song to her as I rocked her back and forth.
She is growing up quickly but is still my little girl and will be a child of God.
I am a child of God,
And he has sent me here,
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.
Lead me, guide me,
walk beside me,
Help me find the way.
Teach me all that I must do
To live with him someday.
