A Mommy's Promise
I was holding strong and steady
It was time and almost ready
For a new life to be born
On a bright and sunny morn'
Doctors and nurses all around
I wanted to hear the sound
Of my newborn baby's cry
There was no way to deny
The feeling I had deep inside
Holding her I'm petrified
I will not be a good mom
There's so much that could go wrong
I made a promise years ago
My children would never grow
Without knowing love and care
I would always hold them near
In my heart--no hurt of any kind
As they grow they will just find
All the joy and happy laughter
They'll keep inside and after
I am gone they will see
How much they were my destiny
Showing how much I can be
More of a parent than mine were
They'll never wonder--that's for sure
