Oh my little one take my hand
Come with me to explore this land
Walk with me in the grains of sand
Hand in hand life is so grand
When you were so small
Oh how you would call
Mommy come I had a fall
I would lift you up so tall
When you finally opened the door
You ran and ran on the shore
I could hear you laugh and roar
Oh how you wanted to soar
You are always my sparkle of light
How your love for me burns so bright
My heart is filled with delight
You are my ray of sunlight
The years were filled with memories so grand
I was there when he took your hand
Now it is he who walks with you in the sand
Oh my baby how I miss this land
Now you give me such a surprise
This is so wonderful you realize
As I look into her eyes
I know now I am so wise
The life cycle is complete
Oh my she is so sweet
My heart starts to skip a beat
Oh how my life is bittersweet
Now I look down at her and say
As we sit on the floor to play
I am never far away
I am always here to stay
Oh my little one take my hand
Come with me to explore this land
Walk with me in the grains of sand
Hand in hand life is so grand
By Ann LeFlore written to my daughter for all the years of love and happiness in my life with you.
