No one can love you like how God has love for you.
Wake up my child, it is morning, and the day is brand new.
Prepare yourself because I made an exciting day.
I have many gifts for you, please do not shy away.

My love for you is like no other
I thought of you first because I am your loving father.
I put you on this earth for a reason.
In your life, people will come and go
they will choose only for a moment or for a season. 

I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.
See that I never change, not ever.
From the moment you made your first step on earth
I knew your ways and your worth.

I have plans for you, my child. 
I see you wherever you go, even I see you from a mile.
There will be hurdles in your path,
But I will be at your side, even when you are solving math.

I know every word and thought that comes into your mind.
You will be judged, but I will always be kind.
I love you ever so much, and I know you will be fine.
My child, I know you very well.
You have pleased me like a ringing bell.
