Towheaded Boy

a breath of light
touched her towheaded son
as she reached out to find sunshine
in a moonlight song....
you can find beauty and hope
in the darkest places men's hearts can dream
you can be saved by the smile on your face
if you just believe 
nothing can keep you from 
being loved again...
she held her towheaded son close to her
as daybreak was outshined 
by her joyful smile...
she had learned that lifes road
was hills to struggle up
with the sweat pouring from your labored brow
and the lighthearted dash 
along a river of joys
she was alive with hope
and her darling baby boy
she will walk with him till he's a man
in this woman's heart 
its her towheaded son that's her sunshine
