Hello, little fellow

You’re a baby still

A beauty too

But all babies are

And I’m biased

I think about your future

What’s in store

Wish I had some control

Over it

When I see how little

Control I do have

At least you live

In a great country

Still one of the best, I think

You have a devoted

Mom and dad

There are very good schools

And colleges for you to attend

Good teachers still

There are many churches

In your city peopled

With good hearts and souls

Those two words are

Important. To me, anyway

Wish I could see you grow

Every single day but I can’t

But I can, of course, see you

Every now and then...

You see, when you’re all

Grown and can truly see,

Can reason, I suspect you won’t

See me. I’ll be elsewhere

But not unhappy

Maybe I’ll be watching you

Like in the song

Who knows? God knows

I love you

Just the way you are

And I'd like always to protect you

Of course I can’t, but He can

I hope you’ll believe on Him

When you’re able

And that your grand life will be,

My little fellow,

Simply everlasting.
