River Calmed (Lyrics)

I held a child, cradled him in my arms

Protected him from the elements, against all harm

Tears of joy for the gift that was given

A silent stream, for the fear inside me hidden

I watched him crawl, then walk, then run

Observed his pleasures, his creative fun

We had trials, the best of me lacking and side tracked

He was on the side lines, waiting on the facts

So in need but against the natural bond

As I tried to assure him as the river calmed

The love in my soul expelled, I could not hold it down

The more I tried to love, the more he frowned

He walked alone, endurance, a man becoming

As my acceptance became more of a shunning

I said a prayer one day my hearts desire overflowing

It is not what I have now but my faith and knowing

We had trials, the best of me lacking and side tracked

He was on the side lines, waiting on the facts

So in need but against the natural bond

As I tried to assure him as the river calmed
