Song Playing is "The Eyes of Love"

The Prayers of 21 Years

I held a tiny baby's hand,
one day many years ago.
And said a slilent prayer over him,
for a future we didn't know.

I watched a little boy go off,
for his first day of school.
And said another silent prayer,
that he'd learn all their rules.

I prayed out loud each and every time,
he drove off in my car.
And fought the fear that welled in me,
that he'd always return unharmed.

Then I sent him off to college,
and up went another prayer.
That he'd succeed in all his dreams,
this little boy whose life I'd shared.

Now I sit and wait for my son to come home,
whispering a prayer over joyful tears.
That the man who returns,
will know in his heart
How much I've loved him for 21 years.
