From Our Arms To Yours

Today's the day we could see Through the telescope of time Small girl, once, on daddy's knee Can hear her wedding bells chime. And they're happy bells, these bells And the messages they bring, All the tears and joys they tell We think back, as they ring Of a little child; small form Life inside of me, and how I held you, bundled, so warm In loving arms, kissed your brow You grew, in time, but our arms, Which you knew, that in the end Gave you shelter from life's harms We would open, we'd extend We'd scoop you up, hold you tight Kiss you tender, on the cheek Those little hurts, we'd make right You'd look up as we would speak Today those arms release you, It's so hard for us to do. Into arms of someone new A man to love, all life through Lord as today, from our arms We do yield, through open doors Calm our hearts from false alarms She goes from our arms to yours. by David C Rogers
