THE WONDERFUL THINGS YOU WILL BE
by Emely Winfield Martin
When I look at you
And you look at me
I wonder what wonderful
Things you will be.
When you were too small
To tell me hello,
I knew you were someone
I wanted to know.
For all your tininess
Coudn't disguise
A heart so enormous...
... And wild ...
... and wise...
This is the first time
there's ever been you
so I wonder what wonderful
Things you will do.
Will you stand up for good
by saving the day?
Or play a song only you
know how to play?
Will you tell a story
that only you know?
Will you learn what it means
to help things to grow?
Will you learn how to fly
to find the best view?
Or take care of things
much smaller than you?
I know you'll be kind...
...and clever...
...and bold.
And the bigger your heart
the more it will hold.
When the nights are dark and
when the days are gray-
You will be brave and be bright
So no shadow can stay.
Then you will discover
all there is to see...
And become anybody
that you would like to be
And then I'll look at you
and you will look at me
And I'll love you,
Whoever you've grown up to be.
