Oh, with what strong arms
You hold our little one
Hugging tight to your strong chest
Our precious new born son.

Oh how close you hold
The infant to your cheek
I see such tender emotions in your face
Although not a word do I hear you speak.

Holding the babe in strong hands
Unused to holding tiny things
I see a sign of such gentle strength
When I see your tear drop spring.

Someday I will see that gentleness
In something your son will do
For the little boy you're holding now
Will get such gentle strength from you.
