Just what I needed

I never thought I'd know you
I never thought I'd understand
Exactly just what love was
When you took hold of my hand
I never thought I'd love you
More than my own life
God knew just what I needed
And now I know why.
I was swimming in my reason
In love with what I knew
Never aware of something missing
Something beautiful and true
The joy to be your mother
Has made my heart grow twice its size
I finally understand what love is
When I look into your eyes.
Of all that I have learned in life
And all that i have seen
Knowing you is the greatest
It is my everything.
