Born in My Heart

You were born in soft morning light
No smile to greet you, no warm heart in sight
A name was written quickly, without care
No arms around you, no love to spare
A little toy was left as a gift
By a nurse, worn out from her shift
No father waiting, no welcome in this place
Only a cradle, and a long day to face

You grew up in shared rooms, a small, crowded place
Children of all ages, no mother's embrace
At night you lay there small, alone and afraid
No hand to hold in the dark, the fear just stayed
After a while, your crying learned to hide
You grew resigned and kept it all inside

Without a sound, you were born in my heart
You changed all my life, gave love a new start
From this day on, you're home with us, we're glad
You'll walk together with your mom and your dad

So many papers and forms we had to sign
All the while, our hearts were on the line
That"yes" was the key that opened the door
And brought us to you, the child we'd longed for
Mom held you so tight, and the world felt new
With one gentle smile, every dream came true

I look at you so close, I still can't believe
The smile on your face is the gift I receive
Your hand in my hand, our journey's begun
I hold you so tight, now you're my son

Without a sound, you were born in my heart
You changed all my life, gave love a new start
No more loneliness, no reason to be sad
You'll walk forever with your mom and your dad
