My hand rocked the cradle
Pushing ever so softly
The baby was safe inside
It was such a miracle
That a child was here
A precious gift from my bride
Though several years older
I’d almost forgotten
What a family can truly do
Had I listened to my mind
I wouldn’t have known the pleasure
Of such happiness with you
So here I sit
Just spending some time
Rocking her gently to sleep
Knowing such joy
With you and her
Makes my heart now leap
