My dearest babe, for you I give my life.
From cradle to grave you belong to me;
Your live long days I’ll give you everything
My heart, my soul, my youth and beauty, too;
I give my world to nourish all you do.

I don’t need your gratitude my child;
From cradle to grave I belong to you.
My live long days you gave me everything
My heart, my soul, wisdom, and duty too.
I’ll give all my world to simply love you.

Thanks to Ravyne Hawke’s prompt of the day!
