Maybe I’ll never know the love it takes
To make me a happy home that’s warm and safe.
And maybe I’ll never see how you pray for my every need
And wonder what more you could do for me.
But when you walk by my side,
Read me stories at night,
And teach me to trust in God’s love,
You give me a hug, maybe two,
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re doing enough.
Maybe you wonder if you’re teaching me
Every good thing that I can someday be,
But all that I know of faith,
And of kindness and love and strength
I’ve by just watching you every day.
So when you stay by my side,
Hear me stories at night,
And teach me to trust in God’s love,
You give me a hug, maybe two,
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re doing enough.
Someday I’ll have a home, a family,
And I’ll love them just as much as you love me.
Then maybe you’ll finally see
You have given enough for me;
A gift that will last through eternity.
So when you stay by my side,
Hear my stories at night,
And teach me to trust in God’s love,
You give me a hug, maybe two,
And you say, “I love you”
Then I think you’re more than enough.
And I’m blessed every step by your love.
