It Won't Always Be This Way

Little feet come running in the room,
He puts his sunshine bear in my lap,
Little arms reaching up for me,
Smiling I set my paperwork aside,
There are lots of things I need to do,
But for now they will have to wait,
Cause I know, I know,

His tiny hand won't always reach for mine
He won't always wanna snuggle on the couch,
I won't feel his baby breath on my cheek as he sleeps,
Someday his arms won't reach to be picked up,
And I won't feel his heart beat as he lies on my chest,

I pull him up into my arms,
Blanket and teddy bear in tow,
He snuggles in and closes his eyes,
Soon he is fast asleep,
If time stood still it's moments like this,
That I could stay in forever,
Cause I know, I know,

His tiny hand won't always reach for mine
He won't always wanna snuggle on the couch,
I won't feel his baby breath on my cheek as he sleeps,
 Someday his arms won't reach to be picked up,
And I won't feel his heart beat as he lies on my chest,

For a time I live in the moment,
And the whole world stands still,
As a little precious boy is sleeping,
I pray for God's blessing and protection,
That this little one will always be in His care,
Because I know time changes things,
And it won't always be this way.
