A Mothers Love
I will watch over you
Till my dying day
I'll nurture and cherish
The times that we play
The times when I read
Of adventures to come
As I tuck you in bed
And you suckle your thumb
I will watch over you
As you learn how to live
To become independent
From the knowledge I give
The cruelest of fate
As I watch you this way
The role of a mother
To prepare for this day
To live and to love
And to help you be free
Able and strong
For a life without me
I'll wistfully see
All the days in my mind
Of watching you growing
To your own special kind
I'll wistfully dream
Of the days I won't see
When I will be gone
From this entity
I promise I'll stay
In your heart and your mind
In the love that you share
Forever entwined
I will watch over you
Until my last breathe
The love is still with you
It does not fear death
It lives on in the sun
The wind and the rain
It lives on in the thoughts
Which consume your brain
It lives on in your eyes
As you see through the years
It lives on in your spirit
And softens your tears
Know that I'm there
When you need me to be
To comfort and guide you
To set yourself free
