We Promise

Let them fly, their wings are strong

  -------We Promise

We walked into your room tonight and you were fast asleep.

We held hands and said aloud, a promise we will keep.

If you should cry because you're hurt from a fall you'll surely take.

One of us will pick you up and kiss the hurt away.

If there's a time when you're afraid, of nothing you should fear,

You'll hear us call "It's O. K. Mom and Dad are here".

When you are ill and cannot rest, and toss and turn at night,

One of us will hold you close and sing a lullaby.

These are things that we will do, because we love you so.

The hardest thing we'll have to do, is let our baby go.

If ever you find the world out there, has cast you to the wind.

You'll always have a place to come..... to be a child again.

Very beautiful. Especially the part where the child is assured that the parents will be always there for him, no matter how old he is.
