Baby Girl

Baby Girl, the day that you were born Began my greatest task. To think of all the answers To the questions you would ask. I used to wonder what I'd say To the questions of love and life. What words would make you understand I'm a mommy but not a wife? Baby Girl, I used to pray at night And ask the Lord above "Please help us through another day. Please bless this mother's love." As time goes on and I watch you grow, I see you watching me. I know that in this big, big world, I'm the world you see. I smile when you start asking questions And that is because If I don't have the answers You'll ask God or Santa Claus.
