When I first seen your face tears came to my eyes
For you looked just like me.

When I first seen your smile
My soul was filled with joy.

When I first heard your cry
It broke my heart for I could feel your pain.

When you took your first step
I was filled with pride for no longer did you need me to carry you.

When you first fell down
I said stand tall be proud and try, try again.

The day you said your first words
Was the last day I spoke for you.
