A Mother's Love

From the beginning
Your love held me in good stead
Keeping my soul with constancy

Before my eyes discerned the light
Before my hands discovered their might
Before my mouth your name could say
Before my feet could find their way
Before my ears could give direction
Before my heart savored your affection

From the beginning
Your love held me in good stead
Keeping my soul with constancy
