MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
WHEN I FIRST BEHELD YOUR FACE
MY HEART MELTED ALL OVER THE PLACE
AND WITH JOY, AND HOPE, AND BLESSED DESIRE
I HELD YOU IN MY DREAMS AWHILE
PRAYING THAT YOU WOULD ONE DAY BE
THE LITLE GIRL GOD HAD FOR ME
MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
WHEN I GAZED AT YOU IN YOUR LITTLE WHITE DRESS
I WEPT TEARS OF JOY AND PURE HAPPINESS
AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
RIGHT THERE AND THEN
FROM A PICTURE I KISSED AGAIN AND AGAIN
SO SPECIAL SO PRECIOUS SO WONDERFUL SO VERY LOVELY
I NEVER KNEW THAT YOU WOULD ONLY BE
MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
NOW IT`S HARD TO LOOK AT YOUR SWEET LITTLE FACE
KNOWING THAT WE SHALL NEVER EMBRACE
AS MOTHER AND CHILD , IT NEVER SHALL BE
BUT IF THERE ARE CRADLES IN HEAVEN
MAY THE LORD BLESS ME
TO ROCK-A-BYE MY ALMOST BABY
FOR ALL ETERNITY
MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
ANGELS MUST BE DANCING AT YOUR HOMECOMING
MY ALMOST DAUGHTER.
WHO DOESN`T EVEN KNOW THAT I EXIST
AND THOUGH I KNOW JESUS MUST BE SMILING
MY HEART CAN NOT STOP CRYING
TO GIVE MY ALMOST LITTLE GIRL. A MOTHER`S KISS
OH MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
WHO I HELD IN MY DREAMS FOR FAR TOO SHORT AWHILE
YOU WILL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVERMORE
AND ONE DAY WHEN I REACH HEAVEN`S BEAUTIFUL SHORE
I WILL ROCK YOU THROUGH ALL ETERNITY
YOU`LL ALWAYS BE PART OF ME
MY ONCE UPON A TIME CHILD
Loving You Always,
Your Almost Mommy
XXXOOO XXXOOO
@Sister Pam
IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
YOU WERE SUCH A SURPRIZE TO ME
HERE AND GONE SO VERY QUICKLY
I HARDLY HAD TIME TO KNOW YOU WERE HERE
AND NOW YOU`RE GONE TO JESUS SO DEAR
I WISH I COULD HAVE HELD YOU CLOSE
SNUGGLED WITH YOU, EMBRACED YOU JUST ONCE
BUT I TRUST THE LORD TO WIPE EVERY TEAR
AS I HUMBLY BOW TO HIS PERFECT WILL
AND THROUGH MY TEARS I CAN STILL SMILE
MY SWEET SWEET UNEXPECTED CHILD
FOR THE LORD MADE YOU HIS AND MINE
IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
