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 learned just by 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
