She's a Mother

She's as pretty as a diamond ring
                                   to me that girl is everything 
            
She's been push around a while
                alone and scared like a small child
             
But she stays strong and carries on 
             because she has two babies at home

             She's a mother who can't be late 
     'cause its her turn in class to demonstrate                                 
            how strong she can be without me 
                  always caring for our family

Its three a.m. she bats her eyes 
              as she wakes up to new born cries

She picks him up and holds him close
                          and get ready to change his clothes

She cleans him up and lays his down 
            while the other one runs round and round

            She's a mother who cannot wait 
            she can't remember her late date
      her selfless acts yes they come in stacks
        all she really needs is a chance to relax

The day has come she's in the sun 
                   she's so scared that she could run 
 
She holds it in and thinks of them 
             and of just how hard that it has been

They call her name this feels insane 
                     the tears start falling like the rain

                     She's a mother who did it all 
                 now she's out there standing tall
