| A Mother's Heart |
| As I lay upon my bed to catch a little rest Memories of my children overpowered my consciousness Sleep would not permit itself as my heart began to ache With loneliness and emptiness, the yearning for their sake It seemed like only yesterday, I would sing and tuck them in Watching them run, jump and laugh, their precious little grin Through our trials in life it has taken them away It is only but a visit now upon a special day I miss the mornings when I'd say "It's time to rise and shine" Then kiss them as I'd leave for work saying "The bus will be on time" The good Lord look upon them where ever they may be Because my mother's watchful eye can no longer look and see Growing up will soon be theirs as Parent's they'll one day know How close the bond of a parent is and what you reap you sow I pray that God will bring comfort to this Mother's Heart of mine Missing things as they grow up are gone for all of time So I'll nurture every special moment and make pages in my mind That when time has gone, I can go back, those memories I will find |
