Engels geboortegedicht: ‘It's double the trouble’

Before you cross the street
take my hand
Life is what happens to you
while you're busy
making other plans

If I gave you diamonds and pearls
Would you be a happy boy or a girl
If I could, I would give you the world
But all I can do is just offer you my love

I have formed this little child
You hold within your heart
My mercy and My goodness
Have been there from the start
The face, the hands, the smile
I shaped all that you see
Take this gift I've given you
And raise this child of Me

Small enough
to hold in your arms
Big enough
to fill our life with happiness
