You'll Always Be My Baby
Updated: Aug 2, 2022

You’ll always be my baby
just heavier to hold
You’ll always be my beginning
but a comfort that feels old
You’ll always be my heart beat
a familiar but new sound
You’ll always be the ticking clock
in a world you made slow down
You’ll always be my worry
when you trip and when you fall
You’ll always be my tears
the happiest of them all
You’ll always be my constant
the pulse of our home
You’ll always be my calling
more so when I’m alone
You’ll always be my journey
I’m taken away with you
You’ll always be my weakness
and a strength I never knew
You’ll always be my final thoughts
even on those harder days
You’ll always be my forever
and forever be my always
You’ll always be my reason
even when I’m grey and old
You’ll always be my baby
just heavier to hold
