Her Love Lives in Me
Under Her wing of loving care
Secure to seek the world
She softly leads my pathways clear
In arms so gently curled
Curled around my every need and under all my fears
She rocked me in my cradle
She wiped my overflowing tears
Ive watched her use the patience that Ill never understand
And when Id fall she'd brush my knees and back to play again
She'd peak behind the curtains to watch me cross the street
She'd read me bedtime stories then wrap me in clean sheets
She'd listen to my spelling words and poetry in school
And when I lost my temper She always kept her cool
Messy socks, washing clothes, practice late at night
Gained my respect of love in her that never lost my sight
To scratch my back or kiss my cheek was always understood
I guess she never minded cause if she could she would
When I sit and think alone, I see Im what you are
Cause when I look into my heart I always reach the stars
You are my heart of lasting love
And God knows in the sky above
That in my prayers of everyday
I find myself begin to say
I may not tell her everyday of every year
But one thing in my every move is constant and so clear
That I'm thankful for my mother and she lives inside of me
Cause where I go and who Ill be
Her love lives there in me.
