baby gone

WHERE HAS MY BABY GONE

     Tiny baby sweet and gentle pressed against my breast
     Such a wondrous miracle oh how I’ve been blessed
     Could any babe have ever been more loved than this my own
     I’ll be the greatest mom for you this world has ever known

     Swiftly time is flying by already you are three
     It seems but just a few short weeks since God gave you to me
     Preschool started we’ve been parted daily nine till one
     I feel a void inside of me where has my baby gone

     The systems taken over and they tell you what to do
     It’s school till three then homework time it’s such a lot for you
     Then when you have time to spare your friends come round to play
     It seems you’ve no more time for me and life goes on this way

     What can I do I’m losing you fear and anger rise
     I don’t know how to handle this I start to criticize
     You react and then retreat and shut yourself away
     Communication broken down and walls built up today

     Child of mine now turned sixteen just where did we go wrong
     How can we undo this mess that’s lasted for so long
     We’re locked into this cycle and we hurt each other so
     Each of us so sure we’re right not able to let go

     Please help me Lord and change me now I’ll give it up to you
     I’ll be the one to listen to the others point of view
     It’s only your love now my God in time that can break through
     To bring this straying child of mine back to loving you
