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
