My Golden Child

Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
Plans to give you hope and a future.”

You were my only child
You were my golden child
Wherever I was you weren’t far behind
Keep holdin’ you close, my love of mine
No matter the day or year
You were my baby dear
Runnin’ and huggin’, kissin’ and lovin’
I’m missing your voice but I’m trustin’ that

God takes care of you my baby
I know He’s lovin’ you my baby
Your heart of gold I know He’ll hold
In His care, yeah, I know you’re safe

You were so calm and shy
But how I don’t know why
Grew up so smooth, the ladies loved you
Your charm and your smile yeah were making them move
“One day I’ll rule the world”
“Yeah, this is our world”
I got your back Ma, I love you my Crazy Ma.
I know this is hard but I’m trustin’ that

God takes care of you my Mama
I know He’s lovin’ you my Mama
Your heart of gold I know He’ll hold
In His care, yeah, I know you’re safe

The night before you went away
I remember like yesterday
After a long day of work, you came home to me,
Talked through the night how you wanted to change
Change for your babies
“I love you infinity”
I wish that you had the chance to try
To be by their side, but I’m trustin’ that

God takes care of them, my baby
I know He’s lovin’ them, my baby
Their hearts of gold I know He’ll hold
In His care, yeah, I know they’re safe
