Mother

When I look upon you, child
I dance
To the rhythm of your laughter
I play
In the mischief in your eyes
I see
So many bright tomorrows
I dream
You'll never feel anguish
And I remember...
When I look upon you, child
I remember
You once grew inside me
I know
You still keep a place there
I promise
To warm and protect you
I understand
Your need to grow wings
And I believe...
When I look upon you, child
I believe
For life you're my baby
And I love...
...Because I'm your mother
