What can I give you, Child,
Against the intruding years?
What will keep each moment bright
To withstand the tears?
I can give you laughter…
It will not be enough—
I can give you courage
For when the road is rough.
I can give you words of faith
For when the night is long;
And for the songless moment,
I can give you song.
I can give you promise
Of guidance from above;
And always, always, always
I can give you love.
