Mother's True Love

Mother’s True Love



As she dreams tonight to her mom’s lullaby
She falls asleep by her mother’s side
As the mother thinks of how to leave
She slips away to let her princess sleep
Setting out to close that door
She looks back to see her child
Memories Start to spring

Through the labor she wished she had not done 
But now to see what is in front
She would never let something so precious leave
