A Mother's Love

When you were growing inside of me I felt proud to carry a life I done everything just right And prayed every night I prayed that you would be strong Healthy, cute and brave I ask God to strengthen you child For this is how I prayed When you were sick I watched Over you day and night Never for one second were You ever out of my sight I rubbed your tiny head and Wiped your runny nose Covered you carefully To keep you from the cold I kept you from things I thought Would hurt you in this world When you have kids of your own You will understand a mother’s love I wanted only the best for you And you know I still do I see a lot of me everyday That’s now created in you I’ll put you through school To have a good occupation Granting it through a great education There is nothing I wouldn’t give To see you happy in life A real good job, a prayer life with God Not to give up; but stand and fight All these things and more I would give To you in this wonderful world But right now child, just accept a mother’s love
