This song arrived shortly after our second child, Cameron. It celebrates the indescribable bonding of mother and child in the moments after birth.
Peace of My Love
Tiny, frightened child
Feeling yourself breathing your first breath
Though your heart flutters like a birds
Take comfort in these words
You are of my body, by my side
In my heart forever so close your eyes
and sleep in the peace of my love
Your eyes are my eyes
My smile is your smile
I see what is good in my in you
I’ll be here to help you grow but for know just know
You are of my body, by my side
In my heart forever so close your eyes
and sleep in the peace of my love
In a world not yet divided by pedigree or race
You are still an angel in a state of perfect grace
Of my body, by my side
In my heart forever so close your eyes
and sleep in the peace of my love
