"Someday's"

cji
3/9/99

Verse 1
********

When this angel of mine I behold
who still in childhood blooms
I wonder how she can be so bold
and yet sometimes the tears loom?

 Verse 2
********

For when you are four, or five, or six
are you really any of them at all
or just maybe a special angel mix
listening for a beckoning call?

Verse 3
********

Oh I long to understand you my child
for one day or a moment to be you
to see the world you see so mild or wild
such excitement and such childhood true.

 Verse 4
********

You hold my hand and hug my leg as shy
then you act like a young lady in a play
sometimes you lay in bed only to cry
each time I see you differently from yesterday.

Verse 5
*******

So if you see these eyes of mine upon you tear
remember my child I only want to understand
someday's more than others really which year
you before me and others will someday stand?
