For Hannah and Hadassah

Watching you, as they placed you into my arms,

Made a vow to you to keep you from all harm,

I sang a tune for you; it was clearly out of tune,

I watched your little hands as they tried to touch the moon.

Watching you, as the years roll by,

Watching you, as you try to touch the skies,

I’ll always say a prayer for you, no matter what you do,

Watching you, with pride in my heart, I’ll always be watching you.

Watching you as you stumble and fall,

Seeing you get up when your backs against the wall,

Standing up for others, when no one else seemed to care,

You have been an example, you have answered our prayers.

Watching you, as the years roll by,

Watching you, as you try to touch the skies,

I’ll always say a prayer for you, no matter what you do,

Watching you, with pride in my heart, I’ll always be watching you.

Watching you as you wave good-bye,

Telling your mommy and daddy not to cry,

Know this for certain; know that this will always be true,

Your daddy will always be watching for you.

Watching you, as the years roll by,

Watching you, as you try to touch the skies,

I’ll always say a prayer for you, no matter what you do,

Watching you, with pride in my heart, I’ll always be watching you.
