I Am a Mother
I am a mother,
my children are my life,
although they are grown,
I will always be by their side.
If one needs help,
you can bet I'm there,
doing what I can,
showing them I care.
Please don't tell me,
let them stand on their own,
If I see one mess up,
I will tell them they are wrong.
If one goes astray,
and is lost in the dark,
I am out looking,
that is the love in my heart.
Their daddy has no time,
never has never will,
I pull double duty,
in the past, and to this day still.
I talk to God,
I ask Him things,
and when He is ready,
back home He will bring.
Yes, I am a mother.
