As I listened to her sleepy sigh, I felt so alive and proud. It was still early. But, she would be a mother come spring. I heard the sound of geese flying south And I prayed, "Oh, God, I'm mindful of the sparrow, That if it drops a feather to the ground, You are aware. Look on me, oh Lord, Prepare me in the ways of fatherhood And bless this one I chose. Make her a great mother. Give her patience and wisdom, And give us long life. Oh Lord , who is man that thy are mindful of him? Oh Mighty One, walk ever near me And bless this child in all ways."
