My child, my child, my dearest babe
I'll soon be leaving you.
I won't be there as you grow up.
Our moments are so few.
The precious gift of life I gave.
Your gift to me was love.
I shall always watch over you
Even though from above
I shall be in each drop of rain
That nourishes the earth.
I shall be in the warming sun
That gives each new day birth.
I shall be in each budding flower
Whose scent will fill the air.
Don't mourn me, my darling child
For I'll be everywhere.
