We Were There

We were there when you took your first breath...
We were there to nurture you...
We were there through your pain...
We were there with all of your joys...
We were there when you learned to crawl and for your first steps...
We were there when you learned to run...
We were there to hold you when you slept...
We were there when you needed comfort...
We were there to keep you warm and to keep you safe. ..
We were there to watch you grow...
We were there to watch you mature...
We were there to guide you in making sound decisions...
We were there as you crossed the threshold of the church...

When you tell me you love me, I tell you I love you more...
When God looks upon us, and we tell him we love Him…
He always tells us that He loves us more.
