A Mother's Search
A Mother's Search
Once I had a little boy
Blonde, blue eyes with a winning smile
How I loved him-he was such a joy
Whatever happened to that little boy ?
Full of spirit, full of fun,
He couldn't wait for the morning sun
He loved all things large and small;
He stole my heart and I stood tall
And then things changed, I do not know;
Was it me or just a seed he chose to sow ?
He broke my heart like a shattered toy
Whatever happened to that little boy ?
A mother's love should prevail you say,
Like all other days I ache today
All sorts of answers I have sought to employ
Whatever happened to that little boy ?
And now his sons are growing up, and
I sit back and watch the cup that's overflowing with joy
Perhaps someday I'll know the story
Of whatever happened to that little boy
