I'll Follow you

I’ll follow you when you take your first breath

I’ll follow you when you take your first steps

I’ll follow you on your first bike ride

I’ll follow you when your entering school for the first time

I’ll follow you until you ask me to stop

I’ll revel in your growth and lovingly watch

When I’m no longer needed to guide and to tend

We will share stories together and learn to be friends

You’ll teach me many lessons as you always do

I’ll confess the times I secretly still followed you

You’ll keep growing and changing and I will too

And when I’m called home, my love will linger, still following you.
